Hey everyone. So once again I'm back with another ID request. I found this queen under a rotting log.. she's about 7mm long. I think it's a needle ant queen, but I've been wrong before. She was found on long Island, NY. Here's the pictures:

Thanks in advance everyone.

Crap. I thought it was a queen. My bad. Still a cool looking insect.
So you know if anyone keeps these kind of wasps, and if so, how??

Be thankful you don’t have needle ants.

Keep ordinary ants in extraordinary ways.

It is a relatively destructive invasive species from China.

Oh. Yeah. But as long as they are contained properly, they should be fine.
