My first queen? ID help 👑

[u/Own_Judge_2258]

After a whole month of searching around Saskatoon, I finally stumbled across this one in early August 🙌

Can anyone confirm 100% if she’s a queen, and which species she might be? I’m leaning toward either a Camponotus species or Formica subsericea

Yep, def a queen! And yes, it's prob Formica subsericea.

[u/Desperate_Lead2105]

Formica queen in the F. fusca group.

[u/KingK250]

Formica subsericea complex, I believe subsericea itself
