I found this queen at the beach right by the ocean. She was surrounded by hundreds of dead male alates, so I'm not entirely sure if she's a queen. I don't have exact measurements, but she is pretty small (at least compared to my C. pennsylvanicus queen). I suspect she's Tetramorium, but I'm no expert. Can anyone help me identify her? And another question, she is curling up. Is that bad?
