Not all ants can be aggressive biters. And some of us prefer a couple of more laid back colonies, especially if there are escapees and other people in the household.

Update 3-18-2014
This colony has grown to about 40 workers now. I had to move them to a new test tube because he original was starting to dry out. I moved them using one of my test tube transfer/foraging containers. I had a light directly on them, and the new test tube was covered. They didn't move until the cotton completely dried out, which took about a month.

Over the last few months the workers slowly died off while the queen wasn't laying any new eggs. Pretty soon she was down to just two workers, when I finally just released her.

Is there any species that the queen looks like this or like Tapinoma sessile, but is only 3mm?
They look similar to these, but almost identical to Tapinoma sessile. They are too small to get a remotley
OK picture of them so I do not put an ID thread but I really wanna know what they are. I caught them mating,
so they are definetly fertile. The males are only 1/3 of the queen's size!

Update 8-8-2014
I just found two more of these queens around 7-27-2014. One I found in Trabuco Canyon, California, and the other I found up at Little Thomas Mountain in the San Jacinto Mountains. I decided to put both together in the same test tube, and so far they are getting along just find, and already have a small pile of eggs.

The colony slowly died off, ending with both queens dead.
