Looks like Monomorium minimum.
An ants' strength can be rivaled by few animals compared to relative body size.

Look at the workers pointed gaster. Matches up with the species characteristics for a nanatic. Definitely M. Minimum.

Thanks everyone. They are thriving, I'm working on a DIY formicarium now. Also captured a black carpenter ant queen with 5 larva while chopping firewood. She was none too happy to be disturbed but has settled in to her test tube nicely. This is my first year keeping ants, I've been reading and doing research since last fall. So far it looks like it's going to be a good year.
