5mm not including the wings... Shes tiny

Thanks.
Anyone know specifically what type?

Hey everyone.
Today i found this tiny queen. Well actually im not even sure its a queen, or even an ant . If it is, I think its a Tetramorium Caespitum. Thank for your help!

I've decided to make it from scratch again. Can someone explain in detail how I can add a hydration system.

Good luck!

hI have two queens here and i was hoping someone could identify the for me.

Here is the first...



And here is the second...



Thanks!
