I found two of these ant queens about a week ago on the west coast of Florida and would like to know what species of ant they are. I think they might be pharaoh ants but I am not sure. They are small (maybe 5 mm in length) with a yellowish body and a darker abdomen. Here is a picture:

They have already laid a brood of eggs so I was wondering it they are fully claustral (I assume they are).

Also, I just added two new pictures to the folder of my camponotus queen (I have three of the same species) and would like to know which species this is as well.

Give the first three food they don't look claustral the gaster is very thin. Do not put too much food see if they eat it.
As always, wishing you well on your exciting ant adventure, Ants the Lowcountry.
