The pictures are too blurry to tell what species but it looks like a worker to me

a non blurred photo would be very helpful, so don't release it yet, but appears to be a worker
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.

Can I get a decent side shot? It will help greatly with identifying queen or worker.

Also, include a measurement and location with every ID. ;)
