Re: ID Queen
I think that's some type of camponotus but I'm an amateur at identification. I decided I'd throw this guess out to see what more genius ant keepers have to say

Re: ID Queen
Looks to be a Formica sp. But I’ll need closer pics with good lighting to ID correctly.
An ants' strength can be rivaled by few animals compared to relative body size.

Re: ID Queen
More close ups with better lighting would be helpfull, but for now i'm going with Lasius social parasite...
Batspiderfish wrote an excellent article about these and will hopefully confirm this ID

Re: ID Queen
I believe that she is camponotus as she has laid a few eggs and i know that they are slow movers!
