First I would like to thank you in advance for your help. Second my camera (lens) is not the best for micro shots.
She was hanging out within my wife's car as I opened the passenger side door. Could someone help me identify her. I believe she is a Lasius but I know I could be very wrong.

Thank you again for your time and help,

I agree with Lasius, although we can't tell exactly what she is from the photos. Lasius neoniger is likely.
If you enjoy my expertise and identifications, please do not put wild populations at risk of disease by releasing pet colonies. We are responsible to give our pets the best care we can manage for the rest of their lives.
