Found a couple of queens crawling around a parking lot and I have no idea what species they are. Here is a pic of one as they are the
exact same other than one still has her wings, while the other has none. Other important info in the title.

Thanks in advance! :D

I'd guess Formica Sp.
Keeper of:
Temnothorax curvispinosus x2
Camponotus nearcticus
Brachymyrmex depilis
Pogonomyrmex occidentalis

Founding:
Camponotus pennsylvanicus
Camponotus herculeanus

Thanks so much! I'll get down to some research on the species I suppose.

It could possibly be a Formica subsericea or more unlikely, a Formica neogagates.
Camponotus subbarbatus x3
Temnothorax curvispinosus x1 :shock: :D
Aphenogaster fulva x1
Camponotus sp.
Termite pair
