Is she likely to be a parasitic queen? I have a fusca group colony with no queen. Any chance of her accepting them or them her?

I'm thinking no, but you might try giving her a pupa of theirs.

Fusca group -- not a social parasite.
If you enjoy my expertise and identifications, please do not put wild populations at risk of disease by releasing pet colonies. We are responsible to give our pets the best care we can manage for the rest of their lives.

They might, but I would recommend putting her in a refrigerator first. That distorts her pheromones.
