I can't find my ruler but I'm gonna guess 4-5mm. I have 2 and they were caught around 9pm yesterday. I hope the side shot is good enough. Thanks in advance.

I disagree. This is much more likely to be Stenamma.

My first thought was pheidole, but just for a second she looked like solenopsis. I wonder why they're so similar.
