Re: Know this ant?
I agree. What time of year did you catch this? That could help pin what it is.
Keeping:
x1 Lasius Neoniger
x2 Crematogastor

It could also be a species of messor. I have never caught anything that looks like that though. However I said those answers because it reminds me of them ants. Also it could be a rare species!
Re: Know this ant?
If any of my answers are wrong, sorry. But from what I can work out it is a clausteral queen due to its large abdomin, that rules out some other species.

Solenopsis Invicta. Next time, try giving us better lighting and angles please.
An ants' strength can be rivaled by few animals compared to relative body size.
