Found her in South Korea, Seoul, inside my home after 40cm of heavy snow, the date is Nov/29

I'm really curious to as though what this species is because I found her after heavy snow when the temperature is around -2 to -5

Thank you!

Forgot about Brachyponera, but it does seem like it.

It thin it is Brachyponera chinensis. Apparently, they don't hibernate, so it would make sense that i can still see them in the winter. But what I'm curious is that it's an alate. I seriously doubt they have nuptial flights this late. and it seems all the less likely because of snow.
