Found her crawling across my driveway. She is about 9mm long. I'm thinking Formica? If you can let me know what she is and if she is parasitic, thank you. :D

prenolepis imparis would be quite a treat if that's what she is. I agree with the suggestion but I'm not an expert either LOL. Any experts out there to give us the final verdict?

I would post more photos to encourage experts to identify her. If you have good photos someone will identify it. That's what I did and they were exact!
