Species identification
So I just caught a new queen while looking for workers for my social parasite.
This new queen measures exactly 1 cm from abdomen to head.
She kept running spasticly in the test tube setup and I took photos when she calmed down.
I tried to take the best pictures possible.

Re: Species identification
Don't forget measurements! But I'm pretty sure this isCamponotus Pensylvannicus

Re: Species identification
But I did put measurments, 1 cm
Re: Species identification
That is definitively not Camponotus pensylvannicus but rather a Formica sp., I believe it is a Formica subsericea queen.
Camponotus subbarbatus x3
Temnothorax curvispinosus x1
Aphenogaster fulva x1
Camponotus sp.
Termite pair
