I caught this ant three days ago (June 30,2022) at around 5pm in Chabrouh,Lebanon. It is around 10mm.
Here is a link for photos of it:

I am also not sure if it is a male or a queen; I would appreciate if you could help me with that too.
Thank you.
Please identify this ant species

It is some species of parasitic queen. Not sure of hosts, someone in your area could ID it Better than me, but it may be a parasitic Formica

Re: Please identify this ant species
Thank you for your help, I really appreciate it. What would be the scientific name for parasitic formica? Have parasitic ants been documented in Lebanon?
