Small Queen Ants

Just a quick question. Are most very small ant queens claustral species? I can tell it’s an ant queen, but my phone can’t get a good pic because she is so small. I may feed her to be safe, but I thought I should ask. She is about 0.6 cm.

That sounds awefully small for a queen?

I’ll try to get a proper picture as best as I can, then. I’ll also try to be as precise with measurements.

I’m pretty sure pharaoh ants are smaller? 6mm isn’t too small for a queen I think.
