I have never seen a small colony of Tetramorium like this before. I often find queens, and then very large colonies. The in-between period seems to be impossible to find. Apparently it's possible!

Update 5-9-15
They have been steadily growing, most of the eggs are larvae now.
They also modified the entrance.
