Help identify mystery queen
Posted: Thu May 17, 2018 8:06 pm
I caught a bunch of queens at the beginning of September 2017 last summer. I assumed they were all Lasius neoniger since that's what they all looked like at the time. They went into the fridge in October and I took them out in February, they subsequently all started laying.
One of the queens looks quite different from the others. Can anyone identify it?
Details:
Picture 1 is what I believe is Lasius neoniger. It's about 8mm long, caught Sept 2017 in Toronto, Canada.
The rest of the pictures are what I need help identifying please. She is 10mm long, caught Sept 2017 in Toronto, Canada.
