I'm waiting for more detailed photographs. It's hard to make out which subfamily she is from.
If you've enjoyed using my expertise and identifications, please do not create undue ecological risk by releasing your ants. The environment which we keep our pet insects is alien and oftentimes unsanitary, so ensure that wild populations stay safe by giving your ants the best care you can manage for the rest of their lives, as we must do with any other pet.
Exotic ants are for those who think that vibrant diversity is something you need to pay money to see. It is illegal to transport live ants across state lines.

In the subfamily Dolichoderinae I think. Maybe Dorymyrmex ?

I agree with Dorymyrmex It could be D. brunneus, D. insanus, D. pyramicus, or D. pyramicus-alticonis. I don't know too much about Dorymyrmex, but it definitely looks semi-claustral if not parasitic—you may have to do some more research.
