Bathroom vanity mirror on 8/6/2021

We live on the east coast of southern Florida near intercostals and the beach

I have seen these ants, and some with wings, all over my house randomly for the last few months. Once, I turned on my shower and about 10-15 of them came out of the spigot. The attached photos I took came from the bathroom today and I have no idea where these things are coming from. I cannot find them outside of my home. I would love to know what type of ant this is, where they like to hide, etc... thank you!

Looks like what used to be Camponotus tortuganus.

Hi there! I went on a 6 month or so hiatus, in part due, and in part cause of the death of my colonies.

However, I went back to the Sierras, and restarted my collection, which is now as follows:

Aphaenogaster uinta, Camponotus vicinus, Camponotus modoc, Formica cf. aserva, Formica cf. micropthalma, Formica cf. manni, Formica subpolita, Formica cf. subaenescens, Lasius americanus, Manica invidia, Pogonomyrmex salinus, Pogonomyrmex sp. 1, Solenopsis validiuscula, & Solenopsis sp. 3 (new Sierra variant).
