Hi there!
I'm sorry for chain posting this but i recently took much better photos and thought that somebody might want to help me!
I know that Formica are hard to Identify between species but with these better photos i thought it might be possible for somebody out there!
These two are thaught to be Formica, altough one might be something else!
1st Queen, Lightly lighter coulor.

2nd Queen, Thought to maybe be Camponotus or else.

My guess is
no 1 Lasius
no 2 Formica
no 1 Lasius
no 2 Formica
Proverbs 6:6-8
Go to the ant, you sluggard;
consider its ways and be wise!
It has no commander,
no overseer or ruler,
yet it stores its provisions in summer
and gathers its food at harvest.

Also she layed eggs and L. Flavus or other Parasite queens cannot do this right?

Re: ID Formica / Sorry
I agree with Idahoantgirl. 11mm is too big to be L. flavus but other than that i can't really say anything about what species they are. By the way as far as i know L. flavus is perfectly capable of laying eggs on her own...
First year of antkeeping, already enjoying it!
Currently founding:
Lasius niger
Lasius umbratus
Lasius flavus
Still hoping to find a Formica queen.
