So not to long ago i caught this beauty , however I begun to worry that she is of the Solenopsis family, that of which i am very very allergic to , so please help if you can. i know the picture is not the best, alas while there alive the only option i have is my phone camera when one dies i can use my microscopic camera to get something better, however this is it for now so hope some one can make heads or tails of the photo and give me an idea as to what species.

Yeah, that's Solenopsis invicta. Sorry!
