Hi! I found this regal-looking ant (of all places) walking around inside my house, upstairs! I found her around 10:30 PM. I have no idea what species she is.

She is a little less than 0.75 inches long.

She is jet black in color, and she has stripes on her gaster.

Can anyone identify her so I can make proper formicarium arrangements? Or am I completely wrong and she is just a really large worker?

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

And, I don't know if this helps, but she was very jumpy when I first caught her, and she is now very calm now that I have her in an emptied water bottle.
