just caught this queen after i got home, aswell as a bunch more iridomymex. she looks like a normal iridomymex from the top, but her underside is very yellow and that got me interested.
She still has her wings and i got no idea if she has mated since i caught here while i was running, but her underside was just such a nice colour i had to get her.
The underside.
Her in a test tube, maybe 8-10mm
Thanks in advance for any posts.

Crematogaster.
Don't put your queen in the tubes until the interior has dried out a little.
