1.) South Portland, Maine
2.) 7/15/17
3.) lightly wooded area within some leaf litter close to a fallen log
4.) tiny, 3-4mm
5.) dark brown-black body segments with lighter hue brown at tip of gaster; brown legs/antennae with dark red to burnt orangish mandibles
6.) gaster is elongated and quite long in relation to body size with some hair present on surface of gaster, one petiole node that is rounded at the top and a short waist, rather flat shaped head with a depressed medial ridge that runs from the back of the head to the mandibles, small oval shaped eyes, flat-plateau shaped thorax with wing scars suggestive of a queen
7.) nothing of note besides small size and laterally compressed body..I was thinking possibly Ponera
