I found this queen in Northern California around Sacramento, under a rock, she's around 4-5mm, IT WAS NOT A NUPTIL FLIGHT, I dug up 4 queens and a few workers, but left the majority of the colony intact.

I keep:

(angry) Pogonomyrmex Rugosus,
(stubborn) Myrmecocystus Deplisis
Tetramorium Immigrans
Monomorium ergatogyn Journal

And many Carnivorous plants such as:

Dionea (fly trap)                                                                                                                                                        Sarracenia x 'Fiona' ( American Pitcher plant)

 

Nepenthese ventrata (Tropical Pitcher plant                                                                                                             Pinguicula agnata x emarginata (Butterwort)

Monomorium ergatogyna. I would suggest going back to collect as much of the colony as you can.
