Lasius social parasite

[MaxGen]

Caught another Lasius social parasite tonight. Not sure what species she is though. I caught a murphyi in the same area a couple of weeks ago, but I'm not seeing the fuzziness I saw on the murphyi.

She's a bit wet because I pushed the cotton down a bit below the water line before putting her in.

This is either another Lasius murphyi or a hybrid. I wouldn't be able to tell what cross from these images, unfortunately. The Acanthomyops group readily hybridizes, and may even use it to sabotage the reproductive viability of close relatives they compete with.
