Caught 3 different species of queens on the 7th. A few Crematogaster, another one I still haven't identified, and this one below, she is 6 - 7mm:
Not great pictures I'm afraid. Sorry. Hopefully a general species identification can be made though.
No idea what she is... I should add she is smaller than the Crematogaster queens.
Thanks,

You should wait until the worker phase before trying to identify Aphaenogaster. They are pretty tricky.
If you enjoy my expertise and identifications, please do not put wild populations at risk of disease by releasing pet colonies. We are responsible to give our pets the best care we can manage for the rest of their lives.
