Caught in Toronto on August 1
Can someone identify it? It was hard to get a macro shot as it is so small and quite active.

TINY unknown queen - half the size of Tetramorium queen
I just caught the smallest queen I have ever seen. It's about half the size of a tetramorium queen. It is approx 4 - 5mm

This is pretty cool. I didn't know they were in Toronto. I've been quite lucky this year so far.
Thanks guys.

I think I caught the same type, I was about to release them because they were so small I thought they were workers.
