Queen ant identification

Don Berry  Follow

The picture is unclear but this ant looks like a Solenopsis queen. Maybe a Solenopsis invicta! Sorry if I'm wrong, I've only ever kept Camponotus and Lasius queens. I hope this is helpful though

This is clearly wrong, there is a post-petiole and a petiole in Solenopsis whereas you can clearly see that there is only one on his picture.More

There is clearly only one segment between the thorax and the abdomen, which rules out the possibility that this ant is a Myrmicinae.

It looks like a queen of Formicinae, probably in the genus Camponotus.
