Really pretty Formica Queen. Might want to look at the pinned topic for identification templates so we can help you out better.

You’ll find more queens. Just keep searching, and I suggest getting in touch with other keepers in your area that can give you tips on when certain species fly.

It looks more like Myrmecocystus to me. We need a locale.
