Just found these two ants and I’m pretty sure they’re males but just wanted to ask to make sure. Any idea what species they are too?

agreed
Proverbs 6:6-8
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.

Camponotus Male.
An ants' strength can be rivaled by few animals compared to relative body size.

Re: Male ants or queen ants?
It is hard to say exactly how to tell... It mostly just takes time and experience. They look more waspish. very small head, and the have claspers at the end of their abdomen.
