Found her in my front yard under some twigs and rocks looks like a tiny red wood ant queen but I know it’s not. 21D522BD-6AA4-4ACD-8B51-CC147B43621A.jpeg
She’s also super tiny barely 1mm
We don’t talk about that

I think you mean centimeter. Millimeters are extremely small. A mm is like smaller than a spring tail. It looks like a Lasius social parasite.

But if it was barely a mm you wouldn’t be able to see it.

A ‘super small queen’ to me would be around 5 millimeters.

Nylanderia sp.

This is likely, especially if the mid-section is reddish.
