Do I have two queens?

Found these in the evening. Seems like two queens and two male alates but what's the small little winged guy? Cupid?

Also, does anyone know the species? Some kind of carpenter ant?

Looks like a sps. of carpender ant.(the little wing guy is probably another Camponotus sp. Male.

Thanks for replying. I think it's pretty obvious that the two big ones are queens now because one is still alive. The other lived for about a week before some damned ants invaded her little container and killed her.

The 3 smaller ones died the very next day.
