[hymenoptera]

The queen ants are only a little bigger than the other ants, but they're very small and hard to identify. Also, I'm not sure if those workers correspond to the queen because they were found seperatly, but they do bear a resemblance. I think they're perfect ants for domestication since they don't sting AT ALL, and they're so small, even the gel habitat might be good for them.

I'm almost willing to say Monommorium minimum.. (spellings probably wrong) But I cannot tell if they have two waist segments or one.

Cheers

I think you may be right, but even I'm not sure with some of the pictures I found on line. They are native to Florida. I live around the Naples area of Florida if that helps anyone identify. By the way, one of them has one waist segment, the other has 2, and the queen has 4.

Does this help?

Apparently, the link is forbidden.

No, the link works fine for me.

You could try looking on the Myrmecos site, as Alex Wild has several photos of this species
