I'm thinking along the lines of Monomorium Minimum? Anybody agree? I'm just now trying to get the hang of Id-ing ants, so I'm sure other people know better :)
Proverbs 6:6-8

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.

Not really, this one is a little bigger and redish, and I've already tried to raise a monomorium minimum colony, but the queen died with 5 mature workers, they have a unic body, the queen also, and I will know if I catch another monomorium, you hardly will know how to identify a species just by looking at zoomed, macro photos, you have to see the in person, their real size... But nice try

Here is a monomorium minimum queen

Will need some time to send, could have any reason for it to don't stop moving much, she is always near her eggs, but never stop walking near them
