They look like workers but their thorax is bigger. How do I even tell? Do I have to capture every Odontoponera I see?

They are a bit bigger and have a larger thorax. Here is a link to some photos (the queen is in the centre and middle-left photo):https://antofchina.s...m/Odontoponera/

It is very possible to tell.
No offense, but you want hard? Try to find and ergatoid queen of leptogenys while they are moving and stinging. THAT is hard

An ergatoid queen, is a queen that looks like a worker. but with a slightly larger gaster. No wing scars.

I don't live in asia , but try looking after a storm on a sunny day. It works for Brachyponera in America. If you want it really easy, look for queens with their wings still on. Just not near a nest, as she will be infertile.
