Thanks Richard
This was the only picture I could get, when she stopped to clean. Otherwise she was running around too fast, even after chilling.

Tapinoma sessile...
is back! I wish all the people who make ID requests about ants in BG would take pics of this quality...
This one is simply cute while cleaning her in the cat-like manner typical of most Hymenopterans.
