Caught her in a small town area called Kinosota, she is all black and not sure if it’s a carpenter or something else.

When I caught her, she still had her wings and she shed them within an hour.

Thanks.

ID'S require measurements but it looks to be a formica Sp.
Ants are life's most successful invaders. Understand and respect that power.

99% sure it’s formica Fusca, and If you caught her in August that’s another clue that it’s Formica, but my best guess is fusca
