Hello everyone thanks for taking the time to read this! I was given a interesting queen today, my mom and brother found it and I need some help with identification.

Found her today 6/12/17 @10:00AM. In Colorado Springs Colorado. Attached are the best pictures I could take at the moment, I want to get her set up asap when I get home.

I will take more pictures soon. I was surprised by her large head! The other queens I have caught this year have much smaller heads.

Images in your mail account are viewable only by you. You'll have to upload them elsewhere. You are also missing measurements.

Sorry about that. I should have known better. Here is a link to my google drive.

Getting measurements as well from what I got she is about 3/4 of a inch. Not counting her Antenna or wings. Or around 19mm
