This queen refused to sit still, I tried for ever 20 minutes to get good pictures of her but she would not let me. That's why although she is completely covered in hairs you can't really see them in the pictures. I can't even guess with Formica the keys are too complicated for me.
. I was just curious as to what the difference between the two groups is. This queen once again would not sit still for a moment so the only picture I could get was of her underside. Unfortunately, the picture shows she does have a notch
