Hey everyone
I am new to ant keeping and I have two queens I would like identified. I also have a third species but Im almost positive it is Solenopsis invicta.
I am in Southern California.
The first one is about 6.35mm red with a black gaster.

The second is about 9.5mm red with a black gaster still hasn’t dropped it’s wings and hasn’t laid any eggs but I’ve only had a week. I think this one is Solenopsis xyloni but would like to know for sure
