Hey guys,I found 3 of these little beauties in Athens today.About 11 am with forecast weather,its been raining the past couple of days.Messors have been flying for the past 3 days,thousands of them so these small queens stood out.Pine trees and dirt all around,the type of terrain messors thrive.They are small 0.6 cm and black besides their gaster which is yellow/orange especially on bottom side.I think they nest in the dirt if that helps.Thanks for checking this thread:)
