Ant Species Identification

[TbroGaming6683]

Can someone help me identify this queen?
Hello! I've recently decided to start ant keeping this year. I found my fair share of queens, but there was this one in particular I wasn't sure about. I found this ant on the sidewalk, and it likes the water side of the test tube. It's very small, but it has a huge mesosoma and an abnormal thorax compared to other worker ants just like all other queens. But it's been a week and it still hasn't laid eggs, making me doubt myself as all my other queens laid their eggs in a few days. Could someone help me identify it?

The images don't work. Try using imgur or google photos and share the image as a link here. Also tell us her size and where you found her (like which country/state)

She is only a few millimeters long, very small. I found her walking along the sidewalk in the United States, New York.

She is a Myrmica species queen. This is a semi-claustral genus, meaning you need to feed her for her to lay eggs. Are you 100% on that size? Sounds a little small.

I didn’t actually measure it but to compare it, it’s slightly smaller than my Tetramorium species. So it’s probably around 6mm sorry about that lol

Do you know the specific genus?

That is the genus, I'm guessing you mean the species. No, I do not know the species, but the care should be close to the same as Myrmica rubra.
