Worker ant identification

Does Dorymyrmex insanus prefer Dry or moist nests? Need a reply ASAP, I been researching but cant find anything

[Canadiananter]

I think the first one is Dorymyrmex bureni and the second one is Dormyrmex insanus. The major looks like Pogonomyrmex badius to me

[Batspiderfish]

I can't really make out a cone-like propodium on the first workers, why not Forelius pruinosus?

I was thinking the same thing, but James Trager said they "appear" to be Dorymyrmex. There looks to be several Dorymyrmex in my area, and these look like D. bossutus to me now. D. smithi, D. bureni, and D. grandulus are all in my area as well.

The second one (including the major) is Pheidole obscurithorax. Dorymyrmex insanus is in the Western United States

D. insanus extends to the eastern U.S.

D. insanus extends to the eastern U.S.

But they aren't in Florida.

[Martialis]

Indeed.
