No, i think it isn't possible.
Are you sure emarginatus weren't attacking termites?

positive and i didi go back again and found the queen but she wasnt like a queen i have seen before (only cought a small glimsp of her the first time) she was about 1-2 mm to small and her head and thorax were jet black and her abdomn was short flat grey and round what is she the workers look just like L. Emarginatus workers but i guess them comming from that queen there not

ps i do have that colony now and after i captured them they started to kill off all the termites yet the ones i didnt get that were still at there home do not attack the termites

Then i think Lasius emarginatus were parasitic inquiline of termites...

I don't know... :?
But you're sure workers are lasius emarginatus, aren't you?
Have you put the queen in a test-tube?
