Hey guys,I'm back at it again with some crappy pics for you to squint your eyes.The reason I'm posting without waiting for some proper pics is because I'm in the army currently camping in tents for 14 days and I don't have a proper cell phone nor a test tube to photograph and measure this queen properly.I am currently keeping her in a makeshift syringe-test tube setup that is barely see through.I mostly need to know if she is fully claustral or maybe even parasitic.Defining species would be incredible.I found her in the northern part of Greece at the lowest part of a mountain full of vegetation.It was about 6 in the afternoon,she had both her wings shed and looked like she'd been out for a while.Mostly black,the edge of her legs have a slight yellowish tone.She measures about 0.5-0.7 of a cm.She doesn't panic a lot and runs at medium speed if startled 😆.Thank you for checking this thread.
