Found this queen outside today right beside a Formica argentea nest and she was in her founding chamber. She looks like a Lasius umbratus queen since the gaster but she is red so that’s weird. She also has red mandibles.And the only Lasius nest is around 700 feet away from where I found her.
We don’t talk about that

Good ol’ parasitic Lasius.

Welp thanks shortly after I caught her she started basically dying I don’t know what I did but I probably wasn’t going to keep her anyway.
