This is the first one. Since these pics have been taken she has laid about 5 or 6 eggs.

I believe they may be the same species of Formica, but I'm new to the hobby so IDK yet.
If it helps, they are both 10 mm in length.
I know pics aren't perfect quality but that's the best I can do for now, sorry.

It's in the Ant Species Identification Center. Its where I made the post originally. I haven't seen a cremotgaster before, though this is the first time I've caught any queens at all.AntNoobster wrote: ↑Sun May 20, 2018 2:23 ampost on ant identification centre forum but i think its cremotgaster

Camponotus is what I was originally hoping to get, so if they are in fact that, I am excited lol.
