Monomorium minimum
Little Black Ants
Aptly named “Little Black Ants”, Monomorium minimum are adorably small. They prefer very sandy soil and large colonies can house up to hundreds of queens at a time. Since they are so tiny, queens can be elusive and hard to come by, so not very much is known about their behavior in captivity.
