Nice. How did you get a hold of these guys? No queen to go with them?

These were ID'd by James Trager as Pseudomyrmex ejectus.

These are from a public park nearby my house. I carefully break any dry and dead hollow twig apart and found them. I also found P gracilis and load of P pallidus that way here. There is a queen but also few winged queens in the colony.
