These are termites.
If you enjoy my expertise and identifications, please do not put wild populations at risk of disease by releasing pet colonies. We are responsible to give our pets the best care we can manage for the rest of their lives.
Re: Two Ant Queens
Sadly, BSF is correct (as always). Those are termite queens. Keep trying! Better luck next time, never give up looking for those ant queens! On the other hand, you can raise termites, too. Just um.... don't let them escape... or launch alates. =)

Re: Two Ant Queens
Unlike ants, termite colonies require a paired male and female which will live in the nest and mate for life.
