Photo of my index finger in the photo for perspective. Taken with a 21X microscope lens for an iPhone. @JonLewis I think this is the smallest ant I have in my garden! I think it's about 0.5 mm. Can't believe I got the photo!

Hi JJ, they sure are small - but keep your eyes open for smaller ones! Cheers, Jon
