I tried to get the best images I could of her. 

 

Any ideas? She looks kinda... mutant.

Starting this July I'm posting videos of my ants every week on youTube.

I like to make relaxing videos that capture the joy of watching ants.

If that sounds like your kind of thing... follow me >here<.

I agree with nylanderia. Probably N. flavipes or N. parvula, both of which are in NYC.

Seems like N. flavipes are really spreading this year based on all the reports on here.
