This queen is 2mm long caught in cape town, south Africa. I found we under a rock. She I bright orange with darker feet.

Hard to tell, as Phoenix said, we need closer shots. But it does look something similar to Phiedole. I have a feeling it might not be a queen though. This is because of its proportions.

I'm pretty sure that's a queen. We need Martialis to be sure or Batspiderfish.

I believe this is Carebara sp., probably a worker.
