Hi everyone !
Yesterday I started searching for queens for the first time of my life, and I think I got super lucky and found one in 5 minutes !!
But I'm not even sure this is a queen at all, I let here in the dark just in case and don't want to disturb her.
Sorry for the poor picture quality :

What makes me think she's a queen :
- she was walking "staightfowardly" and not in zig zag as regular ant
- she's big
- her shape seems queeny
What makes me think she's not a queen :
- I would be insolently lucky to stumb upon a queen after 5 minutes of walking
- I'm a super noob
While I'm unsure, I'll simply leave her in the dark in her foundation tube just in case.
Thanks a lot !
Is this a queen ? Of which specie ?
