probably not an ant...

looks like one of those wierd wasp-like hymenops with wingless females.

Much too "ant like"

While some Wasps do resemble ants, the petiole of the abdomen looks much too detailed to be a wasp.

It sort of reminds me of this

… Vespula Vulgaris, 10 May, 2010 - 8:00pm

Yeah

It looks like a Pseudomyrmex pallidus.

I agree.

Looks like Pseudomyrmex to me, too.

Fabulous shot, Margarethe! I might have to take up "beating" myself! What a cool ant.
