Lasius sp.

Unidentified species

HYMENOPTERA > APOCRITA | Aculeata > Formicidae > Formicinae > Lasiini

A dealate, recently mated queen who has shed her wings, and is now hoping to start a new colony. There’s not enough detail to confirm, or perhaps even suggest, a ‘likely’ id, although based on habitat Lasius psammophilus has to be a consideration.
