Greetings, I required some assistance in determining whether this ant, is a queen or not.
It's around 1.2 or 1.3 centimeters, dark greenish in color; foraging during the afternoon hours.
Two distinct jaw-shaped like structure at her mouth, slight white at the tip of her antennas.

Most importantly, I don't think she was light-sensitive; I bombarded at her with it when I was taking the picture.
Didn't noticed any hairs on the gaster or any parts of the body.

She had a missing limb, when I first attempted to caught her. It was quite difficult as she scurried away into the caverns below but my eventual persistence pays off quite well. I also saw other ants that looked quite similar to her, as well.

I wanna say Dinoponera quadriceps, but I'm not an expert. But I would say she is a part of the genus Dinoponera. Maybe some close up pictures in the light? The link doesn't work for me.

Don't try to guess the species without a key.

I don't think the video is clear enough, pictures would help greatly.

[Phoenix]

Doubt it's a Dinoponera; since they're only native to South America, and this little gal was caught at Southeast Asia (Malaysia).
But I'll take it that she is, indeed a queen? Guess that's a relief in a way.

Sorry for the inconvenience, here's the image.

I'm sorry to be somewhat of a pest, but could you take some like this?









Measurements aren't necessary in the photos, just one from the top, front, and side. Don't have to be this detailed either.

I do believe she may be a queen; though I cannot tell as of now.

Try using a water droplet on the lens of your camera for zoom, or try making a micro lens using one of the DIY tutorials on google

Kinda looks like diacamma

[Phoenix]

I'll take more photos once I obtain those lens.


EDIT: I think she might indeed, be a Diacamma species; though I need some more confirmation onto it.

[Phoenix]

More photos, unfortunately I wasn't able to take a picture at the front side.
Hopefully; this'll have to do.

[Martialis]

I am sure now that she's a worker.
