Hi, this is the start of my Monomorium Ergatogyna colony! 
I just caught them today, under a rock in my backyard. 
The reason I didn't capture all of them is because I enjoy watching the chains they form in my yard.

I'd recommend keeping them in a tube until more workers mature, since an outworld of that size might be a bit large for them. Plus, the colony could move under the nest if there's enough of a gap to do so.

They've tried to get under the nest, but the queens are too big and only the smallest workers fit. But I'll take the test tube into consideration.

If you are getting a wild colony you should get all the workers and brood you can.
