Help Identifying Queen

[mcamp886]

Hi all,

I need help identifying this queen. I found her about a week ago (mid-May) in Boston, MA. She is very small, a reddish brown color. I've attached pictures to help, though she is so small, its hard to get a very clear picture. At first I wasnt even sure she was a queen, but she has already begun laying eggs. I included a quarter in the picture for scale--if that helps.

Pictures are not clear. It appears to be one of the following though:
Tapinoma sessile
Nylanderia sp.
Dorymyrmex sp.

Thanks for the response. I’ll look into the ones you mentioned. Maybe when she gets her first workers I’ll be able to make a better determination.

Apologies for the poor picture quality. I’m not sure how to get clearer pictures. Thanks for your thought though!

A good light, be sure not to stress her though
