Re: New queen
I agree with Monomorium minimum. The two waist-segmets (petioles) means these are from the Myrmicinae subfamily, separated from Paratrechina in the Formicinae subfamily, which all have only one waist segment.
If you enjoy my expertise and identifications, please do not put wild populations at risk of disease by releasing pet colonies. We are responsible to give our pets the best care we can manage for the rest of their lives.

Black crazy ant queens are shiny and silvery. These queens are dull black.
"God made every kind of wild beasts and every kind of livestock and every kind of creeping things;" (including ants) "and God saw that it was good." Genesis 1:25
Re: New queen
I have a Monomorium minimum colony and those queens look just like mine do.
