Martialis, and I agreed upon that this was a Camponotus Queen; though I'm having certain doubts about it now, since [Aurelie] has never exhibit any sorts of behavior similar to my other Camponotus Queens. Need a third opinion on it.

Are you sure it's .9 mm? 

 

Until we get more pictures, I'm maintaining Camponotus.

Not Camponotus from what I can see. I've seen similar ID requests from your area before but I can't remember the species. Maybe Iridomyrmex sp?

I'm really not sure on this, can you make more pictures?

I may have seen the length at the time and misidentified it, but there aren't any Iridomyrmex in Malaysia.

Technically, there is; though we only have Iridomyrmex Anceps in Malaysia.

Closest one, I'm able to take.

Also, I noticed that there is a slight tip at the end of her gaster. 

Thought it was something worth mentioning.

Oops, made a typo; she's supposed to be 9 Millimeters.
