These little guys were on my Peone buds. Look at those mandibles! They are Common Black ants. Very small and black, two nodes, with workers all one size. May build outdoor colonies under rocks, logs, debris and forage to indoor food sources along baseboards and carpet edges. Likes sweets, fats, oils.
