Hey, I found this queen today while cleaning up my patio. Even though she has part of her wings, I’m still going to keep her as she is acting like a fertile queen. She is 4.5 mm long and looks to be either Tapinoma sessile or a Nylanderia sp.? Either way, both of those ants are flying right now, and those are the only two possibilities I can think of. Here are some pictures, sry, I don’t have any more information.

She is indeed Tapinoma sessile.
