I need help identifying what species my ant queen is and if she is actually a queen
I was doing some yardwork when I stumbled upon what I thought was a queen! I had her crawl up onto my hand so I could look for wing scars and I believe that I saw some.
I put her into a bottle and finished the yardwork, got some lunch and here I am. I have no idea what species she is because I am new to ant keeping. I would greatly appreciate some help.
Here are some pictures of her: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/145_GiH0R-3dJBkfsFxji8PJlSkkBcTzCaFpzXVikxvo/edit?usp=sharing
Her approximate size is 5/16 of an inch

Looks like a Lasius Flavus or a Lasius Neoniger i'm not sure, you'll be able to see when she has her first workers, Lasius Flavus has yellow-orange like workers while neoniger has darker orange workers. Sorry if this is incorrect, I'm not a professional but these two I saw irl
