Camponotus modoc caught from a flight.
A small trail of these ants moved very slowly along the indented path of what must have been a snake crossing the sandy trail.
Found under rock near a pond. I was surprised they were active that time of year.
Found at lights before dawn. Also posted to BG here:

This ant was truckin' across my patio. Slowed down slightly at a seem in the pavement. Posting as odd dark stripe in/on gaster. New to me.
