Mamma. I just killed a maaan ...
See, I don't need to be drunk. But I'll have a 
if there's one going.
In reply to Peregrines kind enquiry, I am a Pharaoh Ant --
Monomorium pharaonis (Linnaeus) a.k.a. formica pharaonis linneaeus
But who wants to be named after a table top?
Here's a description of Pharaoh ants:
Total length of workers around 2 - 2.5 mm. Body unicolored: yellow to reddish brown. Eyes each with around 20 facets. Mandibles each with 4 teeth. Paired longitudinal carinae on clypeus distinct. Metanotal groove distinct. Posterodorsal margin of propodeum more or less angulate. No standing hairs on propodeal dorsum. Ventral outline of petiole not strongly convex. Body surfaces from head to postpetiole finely, densely, and distinctively, punctate and opaque.
Well, that's clear then. 
I am not a queen -- no wings, look at my picture. I am officially a worker ant but I'm on sabatical
