I found these ants today. They are fast and have long legs. Gaster is sharp on one side and is divided by three stripes if full. it is black(sometimes). Thorax and head are red. Head is relatively small. Mandibles are sharp half moons. Length is approximately 8 mm. Other worker were 4 to 8 mm. In sun light they look kind of translucent.
