Found this little girl running around Formica Fusca next. It took me a moment to realize that it was a Polyergus Queen. I’m not sure if it’s Polyergus Lucidus or Polyergus Breviceps. The measurements are 10 mm. I also put Formica Pallidefulva brood inside with her.
I’ll get clear pics next time.

I just decided to release her, it would be to complicated and require too much attention.

Good choice. Polyurgus aren't meant for captivity. She wouldn't survive.
