I caught this queen on Monday at around 7:30-8PM in my parking lot, and she already has her first set of eggs! Can anyone help me ID her species?
More info:
Length: approx 1-1.2cm
Color: dark honey color with dark brown bands on her abdomen.
Other features: Large, rounded abdomen, dark brown to black mandibles which are easily viewable to the ***** eye.
Location: Mumbai-India

Fully claustral myrmicine queen of some sort.
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.
