Hello, I found this tapinoma queen. Pretty sure it is tapinoma. Also she has laid eggs randomly and sporadically. Is this normal behavior?

The queen does appear to be Tapinoma. Usually when queen ants lay eggs sporadically and don't really care for them it means that the queen was not fertilized. This is quite common.
