She was found in Texas a couple of months ago (forgot exactly when) after a rain). I also saw another of the same species today but I was unsmart and accidentally let her escape.
The queen of this species have blackish wings, black bodies but their abdomens are orange. She has not layed any eggs to my knowledge but I did keep her in a temporary setup in a small container where she lived under a peice of wet cotton while I wated for my test tubes to arrive and then moved her and am not sure if she layed eggs in there as I didn't see any.
I suspect that she is Solenopsis or Crematogaster but I am bad at identifying genus with queens.
