Queen ant found 5/28/18 in mountain view, CA

I found her in my aunt's pool in mountain view, California. She doesn't run around much and so far hasn't been a great climber, possibly due to the plastic test tube she is in. There were several males in the pool around her but no other females that I could see. She is 9mm long.

I'm far from a expert and almost thought she was a tetramorium at first but after looking up pics of pheidole l would definitely agree. Would be cool to have a species with majors. :D
