So I have 2 small queens that I'd really like to have identified. Both were caught on Aug 10, 2015 (a few days ago) in mid-air in a small open meadow/park of State College, PA. They're both roughly 5 mm long. I apologize for the crummy pictures - I wish my camera would take pictures of objects this small with ease,

The first one is a male and the second is likely a Forelius pruinosus queen. It takes time for Forelius pruinosus queens to settle down, she may not even lay eggs for a month but after that she will start producing.
