Good news! she layed eggs and now she is caring for her own brood. By the way how do you take a picture in google photos because I'm on monitor.

You just take a photo with your phone or camera, then upload them to Google Photos and post the shareable link.

Sorry, I didn't know how to upload pictures to the google photos because I don't want to share any information to the public so yeah. But I think she is a fire queen ant.

Ok, just know there's a fair number of species that look like fire ants but aren't. But if fire ants are common in your area, you're likely correct.

Also, she only has two larvae which I am worried about because they aren't growing as fast as a normal fire ant colony. Is the queen unfertilized or is she just preparing for hibernation?

Sorry, this is late. If she is indeed
Solenopsis, as long as she stays warm, she doesn't need to hibernate. If she has shed her wings, she is likely fertile. Also, be sure she is kept in the dark.
