I am pretty sure that this is a queen ant, feel free to tell me otherwise.

Found it at a playground,21/09/2016, 5:00 Hong Kong,China
She was all by herself, can't find other queen ants.
length is 1 cm, not counting the antenna (might be slightly longer, she kept on moving around)
There was a medium sized rain that lasted half a day the day before I found her.
The average humidity was 77% during the day I found her.
My guess is that she is a Lasius niger.
I have a link to some photos I took of her. (not sure if the link works, please inform me)

Im sure it's a queen, but I can tell you that it isn't lasius. I'm not sure the species, but I know it's not lasius.

Looks like Polyrhachis to me.

Thanks, I try to see if I find anything in that direction. What is worrying me now is that she haven't lay any eggs and I don't if she semi-claustral or fully-claustral. She should be fully-claustral, but I don't know and I don't kill her by accident. I cause her enough stress already.
