I found three of these queens in the soil, under a rock in my front yard. They are about 1 cm. Shiny black and no hairs on there gaster.

Gonna need pics! If they are Formica, they would most likely be F. subsericea.

I had to put the photos on imgur. Let me know if you guys are able to see them that way. I didn't mean the put the lasious picture in there. I'm pretty sure that one is a umbratus or claviger though.

If they are subsericea. Will the queens fight if they are together? I have two in a antcanada 4 way adapter with two testubes. They haven't left there own test tube yet. And 1 queen by herself. I want a multi queen colony if I'm able to house them together.

You have to post ID requests following the ID format. It isn't hard to look before you post; it's the top pinned topic for the ID Request thread.

Atually many Formica are polygynous, like Formica fusca, rufa, obscuripes.
