So I found this queen today
Length is 1.03mm? Sorry bad at conversions it was one line past 3/8 inch with a ruler that has cm and inchs on the same side.
Any help would be great thanks!

Re: NC ant Identification help.
Either Formica subsericea or possibly F. argentea, depending on how long the antennal scapes are in relation to the length of the head (excluding mandibles). Formica subsericea has scapes which are longer than the length of the head.

Thank you all! I think it is the Formica subsericea I looked at some workers of that species were I found the queen.
