Please help identify queen
So i found this queen along with 2 others of its same kind during a nuptial flight around june 25th. I live in arizona and dont know how to setup a specialized nest for this species. Can anyone help me? I have a camponotus penncylvanicus queen thats doing amazing right now but this species doesnt seem to be doing too well.

Looks like a queen, but I will need a much better pic. Also the size in mm. They make cheap macro lenses that attach too phones that work well.

Remember to include a measurement in mm with an ID request.
Looks like Brachymyrmex sp.

Yup! Brachymrymex. The measurement is off, though, as no queen in the world is that small.
