Hey everyone, I was wondering if I could get some help on species identification of a two queen colony I have founded in a test tube setup.

I don't have a good enough camera to post here, but I would love some help

The workers are a bit small, and the queens are not that big.

They are black too. I think they are either Tetramorium immigrans or Tapinoma sessile.

Help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

There's honestly no way to tell without pictures, measurement and a date/location of collection.
