Hello,

I have collected a few queens but but some slight differences form the others., IG clear gaps between plates vs almost over lapping plates on the gaster some are larger with more pointed abdomens. they are all brown/black in colour.

Some of them have filled looking gasters with clear light brown between the brown/black plates.

when catching some seem to reacted differently some darted like mad men why other just strolled along.

I'm pretty sure i have Lasius Niger and Formica fusca.

This is one the one im not sure what it is about 8mm pretty sure the other fat ones are lasius niger

Looks like formica

Better pictures please. Have pictures showcasing a side view of her, and a directly top view.

Yes we need better pictures. Trying using some light, the results will be much better.

If the measurements are that accurate, Lasius is more likely.

i will try get some better pics of the others and the ones i think are not lasius. will upload later and of course better ones of this one

Hello,

this is another one of the suspected Formica
