    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.
