Hay, found this queen this evening she is 6mm long. Photos:https://photos.app.goo.gl/auNvMkbv4T85YeBx7
I have no clue what she is, I have never seen her kind before so I hope she is something cool!
Why keep ants that aren't found in your yard?
There are so many fascinating ants right where you live!
I disagree with the keeping/buying of ants that aren't in your area.

Thanks! After talking with silverracoon (who has an ant that looks a lot like this, and is waiting to be identified) I suspected she was a thief ant.
