Probably Lasius americanus, since she has pupae. Caught after her flight?
If you enjoy my expertise and identifications, please do not put wild populations at risk of disease by releasing pet colonies. We are responsible to give our pets the best care we can manage for the rest of their lives.

Any idea what to feed these guys? I tried peanut butter but they don’t seem interested.

Lasius love sweets. Sugar water honey syrup a piece of candy, lol. But because peanuts are not part of their natural diet I doubt they would eat it if ya need protein for brood ask a pet store if you can get a single cricket to try they may give ya one for free as a trial.
Ants are life's most successful invaders. Understand and respect that power.
