Say like the mating flight is happening for eg lasius niger and they fly off and then land and dispose there wings and they are walking across there orginally colony that they were made would they like attack her or let her go and when she has little workers will they fight with the other colony ?

Kiam, this is no good for reading. You must to write here it better, no 5 questions in one sentence... I understood somethink like ,,When the young queen make her own colony, will this colony attack the other colonies?" Somethink like that, Kiam??? Or ,,When did the queen the nest of her colony near her mother colony, will they fight together?" This Kiam?

I think, the queen´s colony will atacking her mother colony also. I think, only some Formica species don´t do this... It´s about pheromons and smelting of colonies...

i think its more your understanding of english biolog although a few commas mite have helped a bit hehe

once a queen has mated, she will be attacked by her home colony, as she (and her new colony) will be competition, Lasius Niger are particuly aggresive like this from what i've read, there are of course exceptions as biolog said

I'm not really sure about that miszt, the chance of this happening is very low. Did you read it somewhere or experience it yourself ? (don't mean this in a bad way)
But i was only thinking, if the queen would land in there 'old' nest she still would have the smell of that nest and maybe the workers would not attack here wright away.
Still the chance of this happening is very low. But it is a nice question Kiam.
