Alright here are better pics than my phone could take but still a tiny bit blury https://imgur.com/a/XOY7ybJ
I also added a Pic from my phone with her beside the lasius brevicornis I bought for my daughter a like 2 weeks ago
Ohh, I am so sorry that's not Formica that Lasius neoniger.
Sorry to come in an disappoint, but Lasius neoniger and related sp are insanely rare in Florida(Excluding the pan handle) She is actually Brachymyrmex(From your original measurement, and Nylandria from your updated measurement. What part of Fl you in?

Check this out for tips on raising her ;)
