Doesn't look like Tetramorium to me. That head is too shiny.

Yeah, I'm not convinced that is tetramorium. Too shiny, and too roundish shaped. Teteramorium almost have more rectangular features if that makes any sense. Can we see more pictures of her? Also a measurement and location.

It already exists. An ID thread was posted earlier.

It kinda resembles my Tapinoma sessile Queen. I'm probably wrong though LOL.

A 5 millimeter Tapinoma queen would be huge.

I must have not seen where it said 5 millimeters LOL. That would be huge

[Batspiderfish]

Tapinoma queens average at about 4.5mm, so that's a bit of an exaggeration. Definitely the wrong subfamily, though.

Are they really?

Come to think of it, mine is about 4mm...
