I caught two queens earlier this year ant they both have about a dozen and a half of workers. Id like to merge the colonies but I have no clue what kind of ants these are.
I caught them in the Netherlands.
I caught them late April (counted at least 2 giant nuptial flights at my work during late April/early may).
They are fully clausteral
Workers are about 2mm and the queen's are A little under 1cm
One other thing I noticed is: they seem to partially bury the mealworms I feed them.
Since they are so small and all I have is my phone to take picture with this is the best picture I could make:
