ID Queen, paracidic?

[tiger01vincent]

Hi, I just found this queen, mid sweden. I thought that it was some kind of formica maybie, and I like those, plus it had that orange colour so I kept it, now one day later, she is still biting the cotton to get loose, I have caught Paracidic queens before and they have done the same! Is she a paracite queen maybie!

Length: about 1 cm

Where: central sweden

Pics:

Also, what pupae should I looks for if I want to keep her?

Lasius subumbratus is purely a North American species, but she is definitely from the umbratus group. Lasius social parasites need adult workers, not just pupae; http://www.formiculture.com/topic/3252-much-ado-about-the-founding-of-lasius-temporary-social-parasites/
