Ok so this is going to be a long post of pics. All were found on 3/26/16 in Cisco Texas. I will number each ant if anyone can ID them for me let me know. I'm not sure if they are all ants or not. I haven't seen them before so don't :lol: at me if they are not. I hope they all are b/c then that gives me 8 queens. Thanks!!

I agree with Griffin -- wasps. Check the antennae. See how they are all straight? That is one easy way to tell the difference. Ants have bent antennae.

A couple of them have bent antina but they can straighten them too. Can ants do that or are they always bent?

Yes, they do sometimes. Could you maybe film them and show us when they straighten their antennae?
