Any picture I try to post says the file is too large to post.
Here is the short tutorial on posting pics on the forum.

Post pics for someone to ID, they might be social parasites.
That's why I asked for the species. You never know whether they could be fully-claustral, semi-claustral or parasitic.
I'm unable to ID it tough, I'm sorry, I'm still learning in this field.
I umderstand why you asked for species, they relayed they were unaware of the species. That's why I suggested pics. I too am unable to ID the species reliably.
Learn to dance in the rain, because after there are queens to find!
