Hello,

I am new to anting and I believe I have found my first queen. I am 95% sure that it is a queen ant and even if it isn't I would like to know what species it is because it is so different from other ants in the area which gives me the suspicion its a queen. I found her on 9/3/18 (Labor day) in Mountain Lakes, New Jersey while mowing my lawn.
