I find this species last week.her size is about 10-12 mm.

[Skippy]

firstly it look like Formica ... but by eggs and head it is Camponotus specie ... but too small , probably Camponotus foreli , but I am not sure

[miszt]

looks like a very fat Camponotus to me, she's not gona need to eat for a couple of years from the size of her gastor lol

[tail__]

Maybe Camponotus fallax, they're mating right now. And they are black and small for a Camponotus, like this one.

[Skippy]

no it is not fallax , fallax has not body like this one .... aethiops is like this one , but aethiops queen is about 14-14,5 mm of size ... and in Slovenija live foreli and this could be it´s queen

[Kale^^]

It looks like some camponotus to me too, and she seems to have been well fed..

?? ... is it this? Camponotus foreli ...

[kashmir79]

That queen looks like a mature queen to me, purely because her gaster is so swollen with eggs.....

similar to my ligniperda queen, her gaster is like that now

[mate]

I find some picture of Camponotus lateralis and is very similar to my queen

[Messorus]

Yes yes, this fallax and lateralis are very similiar

[mate]

Finally the workers start to hatch (it is take 2 months for egg to worker very very long )

[Skippy]

So finally it looks like lateralis , good luck with them , it is nice coloured Camponotus.
