Where did you find her? Location is a very important thing in trying to id a Queen.

OMG I was so excited to post this I forgot to say when and where I found her lol She was found in Cisco Texas sometime late Feb, I was cleaning my Mom and Dads pool and when I emptied the pool filter basket she was in it along with a lot of other dead queens. I was surprised she was alive. I hope that helps. I haven't measured her, I guess that would help. But I'm going to leave her alone until next week b/c when I last checked she had a large clutch of eggs and I want to see if she will lay more.

This is not Solenopsis xyloni. It is Tetramorium sp. e
