1.Location: Southern NY

2.Date of Collection: 7/6/17

3. Habitat of Collection: Sidewalk (in front of my house)

I'm pretty sure that this is Tetramorium Sp .e. Just wanted to make sure. She also keeps her left antenna tucked into her head. I saw her clean it but other than that she hasn't moved it. Could this be an injury?
