I collected this queen and a few workers some weeks algo, I came across her nest working in the yard, very tiny compared to most of the ants in my area, I live in southern Oregon, Ashland 14 miles from the California boarder. They seem to be doing well any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks Cordino

The workers are approx 2.5mm and the queen is probably 6mm.
Thanks
