Found her with wings starting to make her nest under my usual locations for queen hunting. Aka backyard under rocks.
Pls tell me she’s a myrmica incompleta.

Looks like Aphaenogaster to me. Too bulky to be Myrmica. Even if it was Myrmica, though, it would be nearly impossible to tell the species.

Aphaenogaster. Myrmcia would have a much more slender build with a smaller gaster and thorax.

Yeah, Myrmica queens almost look like workers in a way.
