Hard to tell what species she is from the photos. How long is she in mm? She is definitely a queen.

[Antnerd]

Her length is about 9-10mm

Looks like a lasius sp. Have a look at antmaps.org they can show you what species of lasius live in your area.

How do I get a list of species?
(There are around 11-17 sp. in NH)

You have to click on your area.

Yeah sorry I figured it out so I know what species it is it’s lasius nearcticus
But I’m super exited and nervous because not much is known on it so yeeess. There is discovery’s to be made! But also there almost nothing about it so I’ll just have to figure things. So out watch out I’m starting my first journal!
