Crematogaster Sp. to properly I'd her we would need to see mesoma or thorax for a further ID.
Ants are life's most successful invaders. Understand and respect that power.

Likely Crematogaster Cerasi.
An ants' strength can be rivaled by few animals compared to relative body size.

She likely won't be laying eggs until next spring.

It is recommended to hibernate her but some people choose not to. If you do hibernate her be sure to give her a small drop of honey or sugar water. And I advise you to not keep her to cold. Between 53-60 degrees Fahrenheit is suggested.
