This was in my fiancé's hair! She was found 8 pm in an area of town with lots of parks in central Arkansas. She is about 6mm and still has wings. I can try to get better pictures if that would help! Here is the link to some pictures!

A queen for sure. Some close up shots can help better identify the specie.
