It does seem to be S. ruchteri, but it takes a lot of magnification to reliably identify Solenopsis.
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.

Bat spider fish, what shots would you need to verify? By this, I mean what part of the ant would you need magnified?
