What species is this queen ant?

Hi there!

I found this queen ant quite a few weeks ago, and I thought it was not a queen ant at that time so I did not ask this forum.
Suddenly, it started laying eggs and now I want to ask you:

What species of ant is this queen ant anyway?

Here are the photos of her:

don't judge.

Thanks so much! :D :D :D

Looks to me like Trichomyrmex destructor :twisted: A.K.A "Singapore ant"
Trichomyrmex is a genus close to Monomorium. Mickey kept this species. You need to check out his video...
