Hi, I need help identifying the genus of this ant and if it might be a queen.
It's about 10mm long and yellow and brownish in color. It has a large gaster but not that big of a thorax so I'm unsure if it's a queen.


I'm thinking Anoplolepis but I'm not sure.

Ok I personally can't ID it but I can tell you for sure that that is a worker.

Just a fat Camponotus worker

She isn't fat it's just that her gaster is distended because of eating and/or drinking.

that's why I'm saying she's fat

P. imparis aren't in SIngapore.

Or maybe.... they are

Nope. Here's a link to a map of their range; both native and invasive: http://antmaps.org/?mode=species&species=Prenolepis.imparis.
