Help! Queen Species ID pls (Indonesia, Banten, Tangerang)
Hi,
I'm from Indonesia. I'm new in ant keeping and i just got my first queens. I am not really sure of what the species are. Really need help in identifying them so that I will be able to understand their future behaviors. There are three Queens I caught and they are found in the same place near to each other. So I thought they might be the same species or even sisters.
Here are the Information: All of them are Caught in the same place and time.
Pictures:
Ant 1
Ant 2
Ant 3
Location Found: Indonesia, Banten, Tangerang, Kelapa Dua, West Pakulonan, Jl. Gading Golf Boulevard, 15810. Google Earth position (6°15'16"S 106°37'28"E) [Searchable in google]
Date Found: Thursday, May 11th, 2017
Time Caught: 3:00 AM - 3:45 AM
Body Length: 1.1 cm (11 mm) All the queens are approximately the same
Are they all the same species? if not what species are they?
Any Insights or ideas are very respected. please help me lol.

Re: ID Request
Even If They Are, Sisters Will Turn Against One Another; Once Their First Workers Hatch.
I Will Say That 'Ant 2' & 'Ant 3' Might Be The Same Species Though.

Definitely camponatus. The thorax mainly, gives it away.

When there's over ten different species of the same genus in an area. I don't want to make guesses from across the world, sorry.
