Just curious if this is an ant or wingless wasp, which I think I should know but don't.
Found on Montauk Daisy.

That is an ant, Prenolepis im
That is an ant, Prenolepis imparis, one of the earliest active ants species in the U. S. This species is active at lower temps that pretty much any other ant.
