Queen from July

Image. I found this queen in the high mountains outside of Florence Italy on July 1st, 2018. It seems healthy. But no eggs. Can anyone identify it? I’ll send a few more photos of this same queen in the next posts.

Appears to be a Formica queen. Next time please add measurements.
An ants' strength can be rivaled by few animals compared to relative body size.

I agree. Also, you can post multiple images on one post.
"God made every kind of wild beasts and every kind of livestock and every kind of creeping things;" (including ants) "and God saw that it was good." Genesis 1:25
