Not sure if it's a male ant or a queen ! It's so tiny I'm not sure the type either

Anyone ?

Ah, it could be a male. Not sure what species they are, but it seems as if its gaster is a bit smaller than it probably should be.

Don't quote me on this one, as it could very well be a queen as well.

Can we have some better-lit photos?

If you can count the segments on its antennae, 13=Male!

Hard to tell...It looks like a male.

Looks like a male Trachymyrmex to me.
