What is this queens genus? I am worried about her tiny abdomen, Ut looks like she is starving a Semi claustral Queen maybe? I think she was oxyopomyrmex sp. But my other ant keeper friends saying it is a tetramorium9cb9101a5bffafe308db3eb9c9a6ad75.jpgbafdb931a6db748da00fd243312be3e6.jpg9b190fae64cf13899facecfeb69898fb.jpg6dab1b499bc656ad1cf97dcd5aa071d3.jpgbb7ade77d90174806666fa561b330220.jpg7766c4ca3a613213d15528760762ec48.jpg

Where are you located? It's hard to ID without location.

I does look like oxyopomyrmex but I'm not too familiar with Eurasian species

Yup that's definitely oxyopomyrmex. These guys are semi claustral and are seed harvesters similar to pogonomyrmex or messor. Give her seeds, insect parts and the occasional drop of sugar water while she raises up her first generation of workers.
