Thank you, James and...
... I see that on another posting you wrote something that I'll file for the future, "Camponotus floridanus. As hairy as this, and bicolored, and from Florida - There's no other choice."

Hopper might be Entylia carinata...


...or something in that neighborhood.

Looks good to me, Ken
There is only one Entylia species in our area, according to the info page. I've added another image showing the ant dorsal. Hopefully, someone can nail that as well.
Thanks.

If you don't get an ID in the next day or two...
...you may want to consider moving the ant pics to Formicidae.
