Being the “cool Aunt” I am looking to confirm if this is a Queen and what species she might be for an over anxious 12yr old determined to catch his first queen. These pix are not great but it was spur of the moment, so please forgive me. She was caught in Church Hill, Tn, around 3:30pm after a rainy morning and a cloudy day. We were out on my homestead and she darted along the rail of my metal gate. This gate is under a tree and against the ground. We were actually looking under a block at several tiny black ants when she appeared. It was today we found her. It’s about 80 degrees. Thx for any wisdom you can share.
