I found this queen crawling across my driveway on 4-20, I live in the city. She is about 9mm long. At this point it would seem prenolepis imparis is likely? I'm pretty exited about this find. If anyone can confirm or deny it would be greatly appreciated. I really need to get better test tubes so the pictures have less distortion.
