Sorry for the bad iphone4 pics. I live in southeast USA and think this is probably solenopsis, but I am absolutely brand new here :) argentine ants are common fire ants please correct me if im wrong. But it could be one of those. Thanks for your help! :D She looks a little more red tinted than the photos below lead on.

Solenopsis invicta. Don't forget your measurements for future ID's.
