Looks like a run of the mill carpenter ant to me

Probably really bad biters.

the only species of ants that i know of are black ants(the nice guys) and fire ants(the ones that needs to not create vicious living landmines). will these ones sting like fire ants? they had some pretty nice sizes pinchers.

Only one way to find out....

Eat one. If it tastes like lemon, pepper or is spicy it's got some venom like fire ants. I doubt they have venom but they do have crazy strong jaws that tend to be very dirty and can cause seriously jacked up infections.
