Mandibles are more reminisce of Tetramorium but they are much more black in color. Is the lighting true to color?

Yes this is true color, other than being so light colored she does look a lot like Tetramorium to me too! I'm going to have to dig out my old phone with macro settings and get a better shot of her.. I'm stuck at work for 6 more hours, damn 16 hour days...
