1. Location (on a map) of collection: Leesburg, Florida
2. Date of collection: 08/28/2020
3. Habitat of collection: Not sure, found it crawling around in the bathroom
4. Length (from head to gaster): 7.9-9.5mm
5. Color, hue, pattern and texture: Red and black
6. Distinguishing characteristics: Long and skinny
7. Distinguishing behavior: Crawled around everywhere exploring until it found a crevice to hide in
8. Nest description: N/A

Pretty sure it’s Solenopsis invicta, guessing it’s a male.
