matt-man123: ID Needed please (10. Aug 2010 17:00)

I have caught what i originally were L asius niger queens but after looking at them this morning i discovered there were not, At least i dont think they atr :? well i have never been good at identifying species.

I have tried all day to get a good picture but have unsuceeded so for now i will explain the queen to you;

Small and thin body and a small thin Gaster. Her gaster is orange on the bottom and the top of it is deep brown with lighter brown streaks. her legs are orange. Her size is 1mm - 1.5 mm.

I know it is very hard to tell but i will try to get a picture where the queen doesent look like a smidging on a bit of paper.

Thanks any way matt

I know think the queen is Camponotus ligniperda :)

She cant be Camponotus Ligniperda if she is 1.5 mm way to small
