Possible Solenopsis. If you do try video, use more light. We should be able to ID them then.

She was pretty aggressive and bit the tool I used to transfer her into a different container
Re: 2 ant queens pheidole or solenopsis
Can you explain how I do that pls?

The one without wings looks like pheidole sp. To me. Edit: thinking could be Camonotus after comparing the ants in another post and this quote.
To upload to youtube, using your phone... uh... first you need an account and log into it with the youtube app on your phone.
Towards the right you will see a persons silhouette, click that and it should say account. You will then see a mostly red camera circle to the right. Click that and you can select a video to upload, or use your camera to record a new video cor upload.
From there just follow on screen instructions and will till uploaded. Once you have that you can click the share button and get a direct link for the youtube video.
From desktop... uh.. log in and there is an upload (text) button at the top right.
But honestly, i think pictures are better. From my understanding the best areas to film are...
The side, for the mesosoma (middle piece) and the petiole (connects middle and gastor back piece)
A front head piece for mandibles and antennae.
More light, and a "clear" picture, not nessesary close, but a clear picture.

I agree with Pheidole.
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.

This is Pheidole, I'm thinking Pheidole littoralis.

Easy. Point a light at her. Then move about 5-6 inches away from her. Then ZOOM in don't move the phone closer. It will be more in focus.
