Queen ant?
I captured this ant and i want to know if it's a queen and the species. She's aprox. 8 mm long, kinda red-ish and was captured today (9:40am) after a storm last night in Querétaro, México wich is located almost at the center of the country. :) http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h65/EchoMeter4/3685485...
