Hi guys, I would need help identify this queen! I think it's a Lasius but not sure! Caught it today 2016-09-28 at 4PM. Sorry for the poor quality, best I could do.

lasius neoniger queen! she will not lay eggs until after hibernation though so it will be a while :)
Proverbs 6:6-8

Go to the ant, you sluggard;
consider its ways and be wise!
It has no commander,
no overseer or ruler,
yet it stores its provisions in summer
and gathers its food at harvest.
