Looking to identify this queen
Caught her around the beginning of June. She's about 8-9 mm in length, maybe 10 max. She already has a few workers so I know she's fertile, just trying to identify her so I can do as much research as I can to give her everything she needs

Looks like Camponotus Pennsylvanicus, but the measurements seem quite small for the species. Are you sure your measurements are correct?
An ants' strength can be rivaled by few animals compared to relative body size.

No they weren't. I just went and re-measured her using a tape measure that wasn't just in inches, she's about 13 mm give or take 1mm. I miscalculated when converting into mm

If the measurements are correct then it’s Camponotus Pennsylvanicus.
