I don't even know for sure if it's an ant, because of its swift movement and the suprisingly small abdomen.
Not sure about the measurements, I think it was about 1 centimeter.

It looks like a drone.
Proverbs 6:6-8

Go to the ant, you sluggard;
consider its ways and be wise!
It has no commander,
no overseer or ruler,
yet it stores its provisions in summer
and gathers its food at harvest.

I'd have to agree with a drone of some kind. :(

What's a drone? I only know drones as mechanic flying machines...But a drone isn't a queen ant then?
