I found many of these ants today in my backyard and I don't know if they are queens or not?

Sorry for the bad pics but they are so small it's almost minuscule compared to my camponotus pennsylvanicus queen

I live on the east coast of Canada

It also has a brown abdomen if it can help

Tetramorium sp. E queen, a great ant to keep!

If you've enjoyed using my expertise and identifications, please do not create undue ecological risk by releasing your ants. The environment which we keep our pet insects is alien and oftentimes unsanitary, so ensure that wild populations stay safe by giving your ants the best care you can manage for the rest of their lives, as we must do with any other pet.

Exotic ants are for those who think that vibrant diversity is something you need to pay money to see. It is illegal to transport live ants across state lines.
