1. Location (on a map) of collection: Houston, Texas
2. Date of collection: I didn't collect them, but I found them today May 9 at around 7:30pm.
3. Habitat of collection: I found them on the side of my house walking in lines over some stones.
4. Length (from head to gaster):  They were super tiny 2 mm long.
5. Color, hue, pattern and texture: They had a blackish but reddish in the thorax area.
6. Distinguishing characteristics: They were super small which made it hard to photograph
7. Distinguishing behavior: They were walking in lines across a stone that i found them on.
8. Nest description: I'm guessing they came from somewhere underneath the stones. I'm not sure.

9. Nuptial flight time and date: I have no idea.
