Pachycondyla striata queen?


I was coming back from dinner where I work and I saw this huge Pachycondyla walking on the curb alongside the road. Luckily one of my colleagues had a plastic cup and the ant was really happy to go in there because of the Coke drops still in the cup.



I believe it is a queen of Pachycondyla striata (same species as the other I have which is not a queen) because this one is bigger and has scars indicating wings were probably there in the past. Let's wait and see if it will start laying eggs.

Look at how big it is compared to the Lenovo mouse:


Here is a short video of it. I believe the wing scars can be seen (if they are indeed wing scars).
