Hi, I caught a few of these types of queen ants around July this year in the El Paso, TX area and I wanted to know what species they were. I believe they look like a type of Crematogaster due to the workers pointed gasters, but I'm unsure of which species exactly. The queen is about 8mm and the workers about 2-3mm. https://imgur.com/a/bIRfcrF
Thank you.
