Reno, NV
Redish Brown with Grey gaster
Darted out from under my Armor box at a park
Fast darting movement with momentary pauses
No rain for several days
Size 10mm
I've observed these ants a lot as a kid, I think they're fun. Workers dart around with brief pauses before racing off somewhere else.
Had to use a small drop of honey to get her to sit still for a good clear photo.

Formica sp., most likely Formica aerata (claustral).

Looks right from what I found on ant wiki
Re: ID Reno, NV
I have an update, she has five workers with another 6 or six about to emerge plus one massive brood.
