Ok, so I'm fairly certain she isn't a queen, simply a worker, but I'd still Like to know:
1. Is she a queen?
2. What genus/and or/ species?
3. Are they rare or unknown?
Found in NSW, Australia on 31.7.17
After heavy rain.
She is between 5-7mm long.
Unidentified ants, help?

sorry! Looks like Tetramorium to meProverbs 6:6-8
Go to the ant, you sluggard;
consider its ways and be wise!
It has no commander,
no overseer or ruler,
yet it stores its provisions in summer
and gathers its food at harvest.

Re: Unidentified ants, help?
Hmm, Yeah now that I think about it it can't be Tetramorium. I have a colony of tetramroium and while the workers look like your ant, they are 3-4 mm long... yeah idk! Someone else is probably better to figure out exact speciesJackPayne wrote: ↑Sun Jul 30, 2017 10:30 pmAh no issue,didn't expect she was a queen, but as far as I know, we don't have tetraomorium!?idahoantgirl wrote: ↑Sun Jul 30, 2017 10:18 pmWorker.JackPayne wrote: ↑Sun Jul 30, 2017 9:49 pmHey so I found this girl today, and I have no idea what she is!
