I think I got it this time! Definitely has elbow antennae, so I'm pretty sure I've got an actual ant this time. She also has wings, so I'm pretty confident. The thing is, this one is TINY!!! Caught in Tyler, Texas, she's about 0.11mmx0.18mm. Mostly black, but brownish in the light. I linked the best picture I could take with my phone camera, which was difficult due to her very small size. Have I successfully captured a queen ant? If so, what kind is it?

I had the ruler app in inch mode, not millimeters. That should be 17.4x44.4mm

we need far better, much closer pics to identify.

She died anyway. I think I accidentally injured her trying to move her from the water bottle into a vial. Thanks for trying.
