Need help identifying ants

[Enigami]

I captured a queen and about 20 workers in my kitchen in Interlochen, Michigan. They're quite small, using a quarter for scale I estimated the queen to be about 4-5mm and the workers 2-3mm. Both the queen and workers are black colored. They've been roaming my kitchen for weeks now, and I ended up catching them after finding they had moved behind a cutting board on my counter leaning against the wall. They also were quite non-aggressive, even while being captured they opted to just run around my hand instead of trying to bite or sting it.



I took several pictures, unfortunately they ended up quite blurry and this photo I grabbed from before I captured her was the clearest. I don't want to open up their container and disturb the queen more than I have to, but if the photo and information I can provide isn't clear enough I will attempt to get a better photo.

So, they're small, black, non-aggressive and have no problem nesting on a kitchen counter. Any clue what they may be? Thanks in advance for any assistance!

There is no way to identify them without better photos.
