Date of collection ?
Habitat of collection ?
Length - 8mm
Coloration - black gastor, reddish/ornage, with yellow'ish legs
Can anyone help me ID the species?
This species is a lot smaller than I expected. I know there is one that is quite a bit bigger than the rest, I'm not sure the one I have is one of those
The queen on the left is supposed to be the bigger one - which do you think I have?
Queen is about 8mm, workers 3mm and tiny.
There is one worker that is a bit bigger, maybe 5-6mm, not sure if it's a non-nanitic worker or a major.
There are only 4 workers total, so I didn't think they would birth a major so early, but it does have a different shaped head

Bigger worker vs smaller - major, or nanitic vs normal worker?
I believe it's the same species as this, a few more detailed pics here
