Hello there,
This afternoon I found an ant of which I suspect that it might be a queen. It was crawling around in a muddy place right next to a field and is 6-7 mm long. I live in Germany. The ant is black and shiny and has longer legs than my Lasius niger queen.
I attached two pictures of the possible queen. They are not the best quality, but I hope they are good enough for experienced ant keepers to tell whether it is in fact a queen or just a large worker
I will also try to get better pictures soon.
Any help/clues are appreciated
Edit: Somehow I couldn't upload the pictures. It says "Sorry, the board attachment quota has been reached."
I found this big black ant in Germany - is it a queen?

After a bit of research I hopefully figured out how to post the pictures. You should be able to access them via the following links:

Again, sorry for the quality. I'll try to use a better camera soon. But maybe someone can already make an educated guess whether it is a queen? Thanks in advance for your help
