6. Distinguishing characteristics she is the largest queen ant that i have found. I can make out small details such as mouth parts that i'm unable to make out on other queens.
7. Anything else distinctive she doesn't seam very shy. in fact she seamed to like attention strangely
8. Nest description unknown
9. Nuptial flight time and date I'm assuming that it was about 10:30pm - 11pm
