Species identification

Hello,
I just caught a queen ant this afternoon, I was wondering what species is it. The queen's color is red, black, and brown. Thank you for any help!

Is it the cow killer?https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dasymutilla_occidentalis

Nope, it is not that bright and not that large. By the way, I think she layed eggs.

Where: In my back yard ( on the pavement )

I have been keeping ants since July 2023, I found Queenie (kids named her) in New York. I'm assuming she hibernates since she was found in New York I just don't know what species they are. Currently, I have about 20 workers and a lot of brood. Since winter is approaching, I am curious to know what species I have been keeping.

You'll have to use Google Photos.
