Agreed with Camponotus sexguttatus. An introduced neotropical species that is quickly spreading up the peninsula.

Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest. -Proverbs 6: 6-8
