And your queen is of the Lasius genus, but you should get a professional to ID the queen's species

Do you know of any specific professionals? I tried searching for one but all I got were vague ID guides and pest control websites.

The queen isn't semi-claustral so don't feed anymore honey. How can you tell if the queen is semi-claustral?Is there some distinct mark or shape on their bodies? It would really help me narrow down future species of ants I find. Still unsure of the species as well. But the workers have yet to hatch.

I live in the United States East Coast, forgot to mention. So our summers is June/July

I caught this queen last year really late in the season (it went straight into hibernation) and has just started laying eggs. Ever since I've been trying to identify it with no luck. I have a suspicion that its lasius flavus but I'm not sure. I caught it on Long Island, New York. I can't really reme...
