I found this colony while digging for founding chambers after rain. I found them in a underground chamber about 2 or 3(I think) centimeters deep in the ground. The queen has reddish mesoma and gaster and a brown head. The part of its legs that connect to the body are a lighter color.

Edit: changed thorax to mesoma and added image.

We're going to need a pic, no matter how hard you describe your queen, it's next to impossible to correctly find her identity without a photo
