I'm surprised how good pictures i can get off my ants with my cheap digital camera. This is the best photo i've ever taken. :)

You see the piece of wing she still has attached to her body? Should i leave it untouched (i guess i should), or should i remove it?

Anyway, more pics coming soon.

(this queen is a young one from this summer)

She was trying to find a place to nest in, in a forest. Quite near my home.
