Help with ant Identification Please.

Hello everyone.

I caught this queen ant in my bathroom a few weeks ago. I am not sure of what type of ant she is and whether or not I need to be feeding her. I think she is an Acrobat Ant but not 100% on that.
I would hate to not be feeding her if she needs food. Please help me out with this information. I have been searching and searching for this information and can not find it anywhere.

Thank you very much.

Here is the only good photo I have of her.

I am not sure of her measurements but I would say she is somewhere around an inch long.

You'll probably need a better picture and a metric measurement. A general location found would be nice too.

I don't think that's an acrobat ant if it is ~1 inch. That's probably a Camponotus or Formica if it is that size.

I'm thinking campo.
Proverbs 6:6-8

Go to the ant, you sluggard;
consider its ways and be wise!
It has no commander,
no overseer or ruler,
yet it stores its provisions in summer
and gathers its food at harvest.
