Morning Anthusiasts,
I caught two queens yesterday afternoon / evening at work. First chance I had to take pictures and upload to see what you guys thought.
#1 - 8-9 mm in length. Nashville, TN in late afternoon. Found under metal plate after a rain the day prior. Very humid under plate.

They are a tad different. Ones gastor is shorter than the other than one has rings on it and the other is solid black. They all look so similar!!!
