Found two of these in the bathroom yesterday after a light shower. Was wondering whether it's an ant queen of some small ant species.
I'm in Malaysia by the way and found them at around late 1900s. There's an abandoned oil palm plantation across the road if that'll help but otherwise, the estate is pretty densely populated by humans.
I've tried zooming in with the camera to see it more clearly but it's rather fast moving and I'm presbyopic so that's not going to be easy.

Oh, thanks. I thought that they normally die after mating. Do you know what species is it?

How big is it, and did you get any pictures from the side? I'm just gonna guess Solenopsis from the color but I have no idea how big it is.

Sorry for the late reply, everyone. Unfortunately, it died after 5 days.
