Hi guys, late Happy New Year to all!

I found these guys on a guava tree, Looks like a monomorium, any input welcomed!
Maybe a multi queens colony, as there are three queens here.
Reminds me of Oecophylla smaragdina as they like to live on a tree and enjoys aphid.

1. Location of collection: Jakarta, Indonesia
2. Date of collection: 04/01/2016
3. Habitat of collection: Tree (Guava Tree)

Here's after transfered.

Jonathan21700 is a great helper indeed. I think on his post, there is a button next to the "Quote" at low bottom right, which you can mark it as answered.
