I found a little queen ant marching on some wood, she is identical to a camponotus queen, but smaller, any Ideas?

[FeedTheAnts]

What does she measure(in millimeters).

[Loops117]

That's about as descriptive as the car i saw earlier. it was smaller than a focus, and i know its a sedan.

I'm guessing that if she isn't a Camponotus than she is Crematogaster. After all, C. caryae look just like Crematogaster

She is not a creamatogaster I am aware of what those queens look like, she's about the size of a normal camponotus gaster, as compared to my normal sized camponotus, I am not kidding when I say she looks Identical to a tiny version of camponotus Pennsylvanicus

Monomorium minimum?

[Tyler_Fishman]

She even has the one pointy node that connects her throax to her abdomen, so she is definitely of the camponotus sp.

perhaps this will work?

Lets see a picture.

[Nathant2131]

I agree with gcsnelling, but it could be Camponotus nearcticus or Camponotus caryae if it's about 10 mm long. Both species' queens can be uniformly black.

[Tyler_Fishman]

Yes, its C. nearcticus, judging by the pictures of workers, whom I previously thought were a completely diffrent species, thanks
