My Omni Nest has arrived YAY !!!

After assembling I sat outside for fresh air and look who wandered right up to my feet.
I have been hoping to find a Tertamorium E Queen for my 1st colony, have I just succeeded ???
I think I see wing scars. !!!!! So excited !!!

Fingers crossed !!

She is a little smaller than a Campanotis in size.

Definitely not Tetramorium, but I think you have a camponotus queen!
Proverbs 6:6-8

Go to the ant, you sluggard;
consider its ways and be wise!
It has no commander,
no overseer or ruler,
yet it stores its provisions in summer
and gathers its food at harvest.

But she has red legs and her gaster is smooth, I have a Campanotus Nova and a C.P, They both look nothing like her.

Compair with my other two Campanotus queens.

What makes you think that one of those queens is Camp. nova? On the contrary, I believe that the queen you just found is Camp. Nova. Your other queens definitely arent.

One of them is dark brown, someone here told me the brown one was Nova, the more shiny very black one was Pen.

Camponotus, but without a measurement, it's pretty hard to narrow down further.

Also Tetramorium Species E is now known as Tetramorium immigrans in the US, while in Europe it is known as Tetramorium Casepitum.
Proverbs 6:6-8

Go to the ant, you sluggard;
consider its ways and be wise!
It has no commander,
no overseer or ruler,
yet it stores its provisions in summer
and gathers its food at harvest.
