I'm certain of the ID because I watched a female building the nest.
This is one of an ongoing time series of observations of this nest: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/110245478

Maybe some kind of ant parasite? It was found in my Lasius speculiventris/americanus colony. I assume it must have came in with the Lasius americanus when I collected them. The date & location are set for where the ant colony was collected, since that's where I think the wasp got in.
