I've got a really rubbish monitor just now so clarity is a problem. Seems too small to be a queen though from what I can make out?

Very hard to see but looks too big to be a soldier IMO.

Looking at the photos I'd say 100% it's a queen. I'll try and enhance the photo for youAcromyrmexbob wrote:At the risk of looking stupid later on, and with the benefit of my sh*tey screen, I say its a major (soldier).

The photo can't be enhanced very well as it's not the best quality, so just have to wait until she's out the pods
