What species are these queens? Troy, Michigan.
I found each of them within the span of three days ( September 11-13 ). Due to me being new to the ant keeping hobby, I have a lack of knowledge when it comes to species identification. Any information helps.

Thanks! I was thinking the 2nd one was a drone as well, but was not sure. There are quite a lot of Camponotus pennsylvanicus ants around my area, and due to it's size I'm thinking it might be a queen of that species.

Were my pictures not clear enough? I don't understand why you posted this link.

Go to the ant, you sluggard;
consider its ways and be wise!
It has no commander,
no overseer or ruler,
yet it stores its provisions in summer
and gathers its food at harvest.
