Another Queen ant ID post (with picture)
As I was making rounds in my yard yesterday trying to diminish the fire ant mounds, I happened to notice several dozen nests of tiny black ants. I dug one up and captured the queen and a few workers. They are tiny, the workers are about 1mm and the queen is 4-5mm These were captured in Central NC. ID help would be greatly appreciated.

Having problems with the pic

She is doing well in captivity and is eating. Hard to tell with my weak eyes but I believe she has brood. Macro lens for my phone should be here tomorrow so I'm hoping to get better pics.

I think I found it. Monomorium minimum, perhaps?

Probably Monomorium, but it's hard to tell from the one angle.
