First is a Camponotus floridanus major.
Second is a Pseudomyrmex gracilis worker. Notice the petiole node(s), which means it is not a wasp.

But wait... I thought the rule was that all ants had to have elbowed antennas! This "thing" does not. It has outward curving antennas.
Proverbs 6:6-8
Go to the ant, you sluggard;
consider its ways and be wise!
It has no commander,
no overseer or ruler,
yet it stores its provisions in summer
and gathers its food at harvest.
