3 Queens to identify please (all have eggs)
Thank you to contributors. These three ants were found July 10 in Minnesota, USA. All queens were put into a test tube setup immediately and have since laid eggs.

Male or female? Minnesota,USA (Very new to this)
I found this winged ant last night and am hoping after a 3-4 week drought on my queen searches I found one. I’m not sure if this is a male or female. I have it in a test tube setup but will release if not a queen. I am in Minnesota, USA. It is about 7-8 mm in length. Any help identifying is much app...
