Worker four is hiding in the upper right of the picture the flash decided on this picture and this one alone to go off on so I doubt its any good for a id however it was under rocks with a bunch of brood around a floral garden so perhapsa little info help on it

And finally the queen she was smaller than my formica queens yet wider so Im pretty confident shes a Lasius Sp. found her burrowing under a rock, I put her back after the photoshoot.. I have my hands full of queens at the moment next year shell be good to know about when hunting.
