A little help here would be great. I found her in my kitchen tonight. I made a test tube set up for her but am not 100% sure what species and if it’s a queen. I can’t see wing scars that are pronounced but her thorax is big. So we will see what she does in the test tube for now. If you have any ideas please let me know.

The location of collection is always important to include in an identification request.
This appears to be Pseudomyrmex, possibly Pseudomyrmex gracilis.
