1.
2. I caught her in Naperville, IL USA Today (6/7/19)
3. She is roughly 8 mm, Her abdomen, thorax, and head area really dark brown, but there is tinge of red, strongly on the thorax. Her thorax is pretty small, but looks very similar to other queen thoraxes I've seen. She does have similar behavior to a queen, ei she tries to hide when exposed to light (I found her in an old sandbox) and at least once so far she's groomed near the tip of her abdomen.
I'll admit my phone isn't the best at taking pictures.
