Picture two - Bottom side: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B_IP5zcx-8DjVlN2T3RFSmVkS2EyMktibkxtekFmMTE5Y1R3
Picture three - Top side: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B_IP5zcx-8DjSzdTMXpxWVVvYkdIbXZTcVBrYkVTLVJUYm9B

I'd like to mention i found in my bathroom a bunch of small dead male ants so i think there might have been flights in there :shock: she was in my sink when i found her. An ID would be very helpful!

Looks like either a male ant or a Nylanderia social parasite. Hard to tell from the pictures.
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.
