I am really wondering about this specie. I got 6 queens on todays walk. It is definitely not lasius niger, already got one queen. The way abdomen looks like gold, its actually semi transparent. I am curious what you guys think.

Could it be Camponotus turkestanus? It is hard to tell with any reference to size or more detailed pics.

no its a lasius sp, looks like a flava queen how big is she smaller than niger?
1x Lasius Niger - early forging stage - 60-100 workers
1x Messor Barbarus - founding stage - <20 workers
1x Camponotus Turkestanus - claustral stage - 1 nanitic + brood
1x Odontoponera Transversa - semi-claustral stage - no eggs
