Black with Brownish Thorax Ant Queen.
I Found this wondering on a tree branch, can someone please identify the exact species of this ant queen?
It's black with a brownish thorax and has little hair on it's head with missive mandibles. Eggs are white. (second ant queen caught!)
Thank you for helping me identify the species of this ant queen.

Re: Black with Brownish Thorax Ant Queen.
Congrats on your find! Judging by the size in pictures given I would say it’s a Formica.sp (experts correct me if I’m wrong) unfortunately I can’t determine the exact species as it’s difficult for me personally with just pictures but here’s a site where you can compare your queen with others from Illinois https://www.antweb.org/taxonomicPage.do?rank=species&adm1Name=Illinois&countryName=United%20States&images=true ps. Make sure to select caste: queen in upper right cornerMohammadmacapundag wrote: ↑Sun May 22, 2022 10:14 pmI Found this wondering on a tree branch, can someone please identify the exact species of this ant queen?

Re: Black with Brownish Thorax Ant Queen.
How many petiole segments? Looks small in first photo. If it has two, it is a Crematogaster queen, or acrobat ant queen, if one, it is likely what LaniLyne said(Formica) although I am not sure why it would be wandering on a branch…LaniLyne0106 wrote: ↑Wed May 25, 2022 2:42 pmCongrats on your find!

Re: Black with Brownish Thorax Ant Queen.
By Camponotus myrmentoma do you mean Camponotus nearcticus?
