Found them in South East, Georgia. They are very tiny. Really too small to measure, but I don't know what they are. I have a clue though, I think they may be Monomorium sp.

Also, when I try to transfer them to a regular test tube setup, they bring the dirt with them. Help? (I've ordered an Omni nest but I need to keep them well taken care of right now.)

They look like Monomorium minimum to me, but I cant tell for sure without some pictures. Don't worry about the dirt

Thanks, that's exactly what I thought and I hardly know anything about ants compared to the guys on these forums! I just looked at some pictures online.
