Hey y'all! I found a Queen walking in a plastic table and took a couple of pictures of it. I think maybe it's a lasius niger like my first post but I'm unsure. What do you guys think?

A bethylid wasp.
What! ,It looks so much like a strange looking ant queen to my begginers eyes!
A similar one was on my arm today and before I could catch it, it was gone, I thought I missed a ant queen and I was really sad, damn wasps, you found a way to ruin my day again...

Many wasps and bees have antennae just as bent as some ants. It's more a matter of how the antennae are normally held, not the structure itself, but even that varies a lot.

Thanks for the explanation.Many wasps and bees have antennae just as bent as some ants. It's more a matter of how the antennae are normally held, not the structure itself, but even that varies a lot.
