Formica are not easy to identify to the species, and generally requires a close enough look to see the hair coverage on her body. You may have better luck after the worker stage. No need to create a new thread for the same ID!
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.
