I won I won!  What did I win???

Funny thing, I knew that because I saw it happen as a kid in Brooklyn of all places.

I took entomology in 1978.  Let's see if I remember any of it correctly.

My first guess is that it is the intermediate state or instar of something.  In other words, it isn't a mature insect.  I base that on the pubescence (hair) easily seen.  If it is an instar, then it isn't an ant, but may morph into a a member of the roach family.

It may also be a flightless male of some species.  In that case it might be a member of the group containing wasps and bees.

Not knowing how long that thing is, it reminds me of a member of the ant family commonly called a Cattle Killer in Texas.  

Really hard to tell.
