HELP! Identify two ant species.
I live in San Antonio, Texas. I caught them here in late July.
This ant is about 7 mm
This next ant is very small, she is 5 mm
And finally here are the two side by side.
These are my first queens and they are laying eggs. I would really like to make these queens into colonies and get hybrid nests for them. All advice and suggestions are very welcome as well. Thank you very much!

Re: HELP! Identify two ant species.
Imgur seems to be the best and preferred image host.

Re: ID Request
I Believe Those Are Solenopsis Sp & Monomorium Sp, Respectively.

Thank you, are there any second opinions? Just curious.

Re: HELP! Identify two ant species.
I would say that the larger queen is Pheidole, and the smaller one is the Solenopsis sp.
