Sorry if I sound like an idiot or whatever, but I just started ant keeping and managed to caught what I think is a queen. I'm not sure but here take a look for yourselves.

Hard to tell from this one photo. My initial guess is that it is not a queen, based on the size of the thorax. Usually the thorax (middle body section) is much larger as it houses the muscles used for wings and flight.

Camponotus major worker.
An ants' strength can be rivaled by few animals compared to relative body size.

Unfortunately... I agree .it looks like you have a Camp major , not queen. The queen looks very similar . Except like she has s bulge on her back. Almost as if she wore a backpack .(scale-size)
