Hi guys I found another queen this afternoon. She is absolutely tiny!

 

 

1. I found her in Eltham, Victoria, Australia in our office. It was a mild day but very humid.

2. Found on the 22nd January 2016
3. Found in an urban area.
4. She is tiny. Only 5mm long.
5. Her colour is a dark brown almost black. Consistent through the length of the body. It appears as though the lower legs are white.
 

Please excuse the photo quality. At only 5mm long this was the best I could manage through the test tube.
