These are quite rare in northern Indiana. This was my first time seeing them. They were abundant in the area, though.

I was able to witness the winged members take flight from the colony. It only happened for a few minutes.

I found this queen yesterday as I was collecting some B. depillis queens. Important notes for this area are that there's an abundance of Cthonolasius in the area. L. claviger are very common in that open grassy field a few yards west of the location. The queen was measured with calipers to be 4.3-4.4mm long. First two pictures are of the queen last night while she was alive, she passed away overnight and the last pictures are of today closer up. If you'd like to inquire about more information about anything here feel free to contact me. Special thanks to @aprothero @mettcollsuss @amatty76 for helping me identify this.
