Found this Small Honey Ant (Prenolepis imparis) walking up the branch of a red tree at Tilden Regional Park, moving quickly ahead of its friends. The Small Honey Ant is a member of the insect taxa. "The small honey ant is a native species, sometimes referred to as the false honey ant. It is also known as the winter ant, because it is more cold tolerant than other species that infest structures. It ranges from Ontario, Canada, to Nebraska, south to Texas and Florida, and also occurs in New Mexico, California, Oregon and Washington." (http://urbanentomology.tamu.edu/ants/small_honey.html)
