Found this queen around 10:00 pm very large flight. About 2mm long I think was flying with solenopsis.

The only real way to identify a queen is with pictures so we will need that.

No idea what type of queen it is. And she had also started laying already.
So so tiny too.

This is not a guess for me. I've seen a lot of these queens. I've even caught one when I was down in Florida.

So just standard keeping then? For example not having to do anything special for them

If you click the "share" button on your picture, you can copy the URL after "Direct link" and post it here by using the image button. That would make the image part of your post instead of a link to another page.
