ANTSTORE World of Ants

I have caught what i originally were Lasius 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

[abz-uk-ants]

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

Any ideas then?
