Hello,

 

I'm starting in this great adventure of starting an ant colony. I found a queen some days ago, and I'd really like to know if somebody could help me identify it.

 

It's a very small queen, like 3-4mm and it has a very big gaster. I found it here in Yucatan, Mexico.

 

I'm posting some pictures, sorry for the quality, but it's very small and I couldn't get better pics. I'll try to get some better pictures later.

 

Thanks for the help.
