Re: Unknown queen ant
Better lighting and a measurement will be necessary to do a proper ID. Has the looks of Lasius aphidicolus, but again I can't see it very well.
If you enjoy my expertise and identifications, please do not put wild populations at risk of disease by releasing pet colonies. We are responsible to give our pets the best care we can manage for the rest of their lives.

Re: Unknown queen ant
Definitely not Tetramorium, looks like Formica fusca to me but I can't really tell here.
