Found on roof. I was working and suddenly they were everywhere. I just picked them up off the roof and put them into containers. There were dead and dying males all over the place. It was really cool to witness. I caught 17 of the little ones and one Campo that I think is C. Pen but I'm not certain. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello the small queens I'm not certain on the ID but they appear to be some type of Solenopsis (fire ant) and I Agree with the camponotus ID

Re: Little bitty queens and one Campo
The little queens are likely Forelius pruinosus, if the measurements are relatively accurate.
