This is my first time posting pictures on here so hopefully this works! I know the close up is a little blurry. She was getting frantic with the light and I didn't want to stress her out too much. I can get a better pic of needed!
My guess is camponotus pennsylvanicus but what do I know?
Again just let me know if a better pic is needed
