I've got this queen and I have no idea what it is. I was going through the drive through in the bank a few days ago and I saw this queen on the post, so I reached out of my window and grabed it by the wings and put it in a small container untill I could move it into a test tube. But I could really use some help with the ID. She was found In Savannah, GA in an urban area. And she's about 5 1/2mm long.

This is Colobopsis. Are you sure on those measurements? They seem pretty inaccurate.

I'm sure, she's slightly smaller than S. invicta. She's pretty small.

That's about 5mm, not 2mm. I just measured Abe's head on a penny.

You're right I measured her, she's 5 1/2mm not 2 :/ sorry I really shouldn't have guessed.

Camponotus are closely-related enough!  :D
