first ever queens but.......... what are they lol

[850csmith]

so i caught four "queens" i think there all queens two of them had there wings and chewed them off after i caught them. they were all caught in panama city beach Florida and about noon 05/13/2019 3-4 hours after a heavy rain shower all in the same spot (about 10 square feet). after doing some research i think i have one of two or three different speices, Ochetellus, camponotus or Linepithema. if some one can help me get a definite answer i will be very great-full

If I were to guess (and I am guessing, so don’t take my word for it) it looks like Solenopsis invicta. Red imported fire ant. Did you check out that species when you were doing research?

I agree with Solenopsis invicta.
