Comparison?

I don't know if this is the right place to ask this but does anyone have a picture of a pseudomyrmex gracilis queen compared to a worker? I have been finding male alates of this species around my pool and would like to try and obtain a queen, thanks.

And workers are like that, without thorax as thick as gaster

They are called twig ants.
