Found around 6 pm 4/6/22, she landed right in front of me on the trail and ripped her wings off.

Around 10mm long.

Is there any other info that would help ID her?

Thanks for the help!

Myrmecocystus sp. based on long maxillary palps, I’m not sure on the species though since I don’t have much experience with honeypots…
