Hi tpreston, these ants are likely to be Doleromyrma or Technomyrmex, but being such small ants it is hard to be sure from the photos. Cheers, Jon

They were very small, and Unfortunately my phone cant zoom in anymore on them without losing even more picture quality.
Must get myself a decent macro camera one of these days.
