Hi there,
I know these arent the best photos, so let me know if yall need me to retake them. I found this insect dead by our kitchen window. I had found a carpenter ant before in the basement so just wanted to verify this is not a carpenter ant. Plus, out of curiosity, whether it's even an ant at all!
It's about a 1/4 inch long. I think I kind of see a stinger, but it's so small for a wasp... I also dont think I see any nodes on the petiole which is my main confusion/curiosity about identifying ants vs other insects.

Thanks for any input!
