This individual is from the large underground nest in our front yard (which we believe is feasting on rotting roots of the dead tree it lies under). We have scouts in our house often as well.

Large (relative to others ants in the area) black mountain ant. Similar ones were foraging , walking across rocks and in the brush (montane chaparral).

This ant was much larger than the tiny ones that invade picnics etc around California. In this picture, there's clearly an ant, and is that another ant that it's with? There's also somebody off to the left that looks very arachnid-y to me but I suspect may be another ant. I can add this picture up again as a second observation if there's more than one species here.
