Queen ID, Western Texas

[SouthWesternAnts]

I caught multiple of these queens about 2 months ago and some have majors now, but the one in the pictures has nanitics. She is around 7-9mm in length(first 3 pictures) and I'm unsure what she is, but she looks like a smaller version of a pheidole I caught 3 months ago that was much larger at 12-14mm in length(Shown in the last picture). They were caught in western part of Texas.

Pheidole Comes In Varies Sizes.

Thanks, that's what I thought they were but I needed confirmation. I want to sell some of these eventually so I wanted to know the exact species, but my camera work isn't great enough to identify the specific pheidole species.

Agreed.
