Haha, I named my queen Sarah Kerrigan. I was hoping to catch a Camponatus sp. but I'm not sure what I ended up with...
Thanks in advance!

Lasius Niger
Proverbs 6:6-8
Go to the ant, you sluggard;
consider its ways and be wise!
It has no commander,
no overseer or ruler,
yet it stores its provisions in summer
and gathers its food at harvest.

Re: The Zerg Swarm
No, probably not L. niger. We would need to see the hairs on the antennal scapes and the teeth on the mandibles. Because she already has workers, she's most likely Lasius alienus (lol) or Lasius pallitarsis.
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.
