Hey guys.I found a colony under a rock on a mountain in greece with low vegetation.I captured her for a couple of pics and then I released her back to where she belongs,I was really gentle throughout the whole thing,hopefully the full grown colony didn't stress too much.The queen is 0.5 cm the workers are 0.3 cm. Red thorax and head,darker gaster.Really fast workers.I'm thinking Formica?hopefully you can help with the sp.Thank you!
