I went for a 4 hour hike on the coast today and right before I turned around to head back, this little lady crossed my path.

Is she a queen? Should I start kneeling?

Congrats!

Finally!!!!
WOO HOO!!!!!

Now I just have to figure out what kind:)

Looks like am Servifomica sp. queen. But as ya have much other species in the States as we do in europe, one can't figure the species just from these pictures out.

But have fun with her

Theres a nest of Lasuis Niger in my garden which have queens which are about to take flight in the next 2 days, so I'm on top guard for them once they've shredded there wings.

Very nice queen Arcais ,like Krümel wrote, I also think it is some Formica (Serviformica) specie

Good job Arcais and good luck with here. I'm glad for you.

I stick with my friends over here, thinking it is a Formica sp.

I went to a new place yesterday. Found dozens of nests and saw hundreds of ants. At least 5 - 7 different species just by looking at them. Could have been more if you looked under a microscope.

This little lady was scurrying across the trail I was on. I couldn't believe it.

Thanks for the help on the identification.

Ok, so she left the test tube and is hiding under a leaf. Is this bad? Should I lock her away in the tube?

I'm sure this question is answer somewhere already

She will find the best place to be. It's a bit weird she left the testube straight away. Did you make a water reservoir in the test tube and plugged it with a cotton wool?
