yes I agree

Go to the ant, you sluggard;
consider its ways and be wise!
It has no commander,
no overseer or ruler,
yet it stores its provisions in summer
and gathers its food at harvest.

you found a tetramorium queen! cool! SO these ants grow very fast and within a month or so you should see your first workers. I caught my tetramorium queen in june and now, four months later I have about 40 workers!
Actually, I'm pretty sure that's Messor. I'm 95% sure it's not Tetramorium.
