she is quite a small ant, about 4-5mm, pretty dark and slow and has very acorn ant behavior where she does not care about me carrying her and is just chill overall. She looks like she has big mandibles, but her thorax is a bit small making me thing she is some sort of Myrmica.
her just chilling on my desk
close up of her
please help me identify her because she looks very nice to keep
Currently keeping:
1x Formica subsericea, 35-40 workers + BIG brood pile + 10 pupa.
1x Crematogaster cerasi, 1 workers + finally some bigger brood (The worker that was dying died 
)
1x Myrmica ruba sp around 10 workers
*New* 1x founding Camponotus pennsylvanicus + eggs that die (probably infertile)
*New* 2x Camponotus nova, one is infertile
*As you watch your ants march, remember that every thing begins with a small step and continued by diligence and shared dreams*
