Queen Spider Egg Ant - Proceratium - Female
Basking Ridge, Somerset County, New Jersey, USA
March 29, 2013
Mistook her for a ponera I was collecting from the same rotting log. This species seems to have trouble walking on the smooth white surface that I photograph bugs on, but unfortunately this queen was actually starting to die by the time I photographed her.
