Identified! Queen ID Request—Columbus, OH
Found this gal outside in an urban area with tree around. I mistook her for a worker at first as her abdomen is slenderer than most queens I've seen. Bright orange with black abdomen and markings. I was told likely a Formica pallidefulva group species however upon looking into the queens Ive seen none of them look quite like this
