Thank you!

Hi,
the first one is a species of camponotus, and the second one looks like the black garden ant, but I'm not a hundred percent sure for the second one though.

Thank you Angelants2012! Is this solid enough to list the colonies for sale or should I get some extra opinions?

Anyone else want to chime in?

Second one seems to be Formica.
