Can I get some help identifying this (possible) Queen?

[Austin916]

Hello,
I caught what I think to be a queen in late November of last year in New Jersey, US. I have kept it in a test tube setup through winter and it has survived and now become more active as it has gotten warmer. When I first caught it, it had wings that have since fallen off, and it occasionally accepts honey I offer it. Can anyone tell me what this species might be and if it is a queen?

Looks like a lasius niger maybe wrong though.

I have a little chart that I use to help me identify ants, but I need to see a picture of her gaster to see if she has an acid pore. Also, what size is it?

[Austin916]

AntNoob1, I cant get a very clear picture of the gaster, but from what I can tell there is no acid pore. It is about 1 cm in length. I will keep trying to get a decent picture for you.

where did you get that charts i thought most of them are for identifying workers.

It is indeed a Queen.
However for me it sems like a harvester ant species maybe messor barbarus, i cant realy be sure because there is no clear picture of her gaster!
Hope this helped

Is there something on her thorax? (middle bit) it looks kind of bumpy.

[Austin916]

Yes, that was just two water droplets that got stuck on her. At first, i thought it may have been a mite but they have since gone away.
