Could be Crematogaster or Solenopsis, but the pictures are not great.

[Alabama Anter]

Agreed with SpiderFish.

I'm going to go straight for crematogaster as in the last image the heart is quite visible

[CallMeCraven]

I think I can make out, what at least I convinced myself was, a heart shaped gaster, so I am also throwing my hat into the crematogaster ring. Like spiderfish said though, we would love to see some more clear pics of her so that we may better help you.

might be aphaenogaster occidentalis or rudis

I'd say Crematogaster. Her shape and size are give aways.

Uhh? Is that a bag you have her in?

I only had her in there while I made a test-tube set-up, so she's in there now

oh, ok.
