Queen differences

[AntsAntsAnts]

What is the difference between lasius and black crazy ant queens? i can see some colour difference, but lasius queens have some varying colour shades so it's hard to tell.

THey're surprisingly similar, are you pointing to any specific specie of lasius? THere are only prolasius in Australia if your asking. Generally when comparing with a few different specimen. the Blakc Crazy ants have longer legs, but I'm sure someone else can de better.

The workers are fairly different from each other, but the queens look a lot alike.

Ask a taxonomist, I'm sure they would be able to tell you!

Black crazy ants have almost similar gaster and thorax size whereas lasius niger have huge gasters. I have never seen a lasius niger queen but the gaster of bca queen is the same length as the workers
This is all from memory btw
