What is this... long queen?

I caught this queen about a month-ish ago. i found her with a male attatched and with a stupid mite on her leg. i scraped the mite off and she has a bit of a scar but i think she pulled through. I originally thought that she was some common camponotus queen and didn't put much thought into it. but when i checked on her, i noticed that her body and face was a bit elongated. what species is she?

I found her in a park in North Rocks. She's about a centimeter long or smth. Uh she likes cleaning herself.

Could you get a picture of her not through the test tube? It kind of distorts her.
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.
