I can kinda see the wing scars. But what I really want to know is what kind of ant that is and if it needs to be fed

Thank you
She's about as big as a dime

Is that a harvester? In Oklahoma, you are in the range them. Looks like a queen too good find.

Now is this a type of ant that doesn't need to be fed ? That's my main main question
