I would love and ID. You can't really see it in the photos, but she has some stripes on her gaster. Please let me know if you need more pics or description.

I believe it to be a Fomica sp., I’ll need measurements and better lighting to id.
An ants' strength can be rivaled by few animals compared to relative body size.
