I'm sorry but this is funny. I know you guys have some pretty bad weather right now, and you're still able to find queens.
that's dedication.

I'm gonna go off on a whim here by her looks and what i know.
She looks to be a queen. But she also looks to be the species were any worker can become a queen. idk the name, but she looks queen like to me. She also seems parasitic. She lacks the girth queens normally have.

Pseudonomyrmex are know as twig insects. This species in semi claustral and lives in hollow twigs. These species don't have parasitic queens nor are they gamergates.

Looks like a queen to me. Those ants that Loops is talking about live in Australia I believe.

Loops is referring to Diacamma spp. They are found in South East Asia and parts of Australia.
