Some kind of Solenopsis.
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.

Thank you, I did some looking and it seems to be the case, just need to determine if I want to keep her, she has a few eggs already.
