I went walking today around my block around 6 AM around the St. Louis area, and I stumbled upon 3 queen ants, 2 are the same species but 1 I am almost sure is a tetramorium, however I have no idea what these 2 little red ones are.
Red Queen
Black Queen
Size and Comparison
If you have any idea, please let me know. Thats as much info as I can come up with.
Bonus!
This is a tetramorium ant queen I believe I caught around 4 days prior, she already has her first set of eggs. I slightly disturbed her because I moved the three new queens in. I hope she wont panic and eat her eggs. I put all of them in a dark place so hopefully all of them will calm down soon.

Re: Need help identifying newly caught queens
That would be cool if they were a pheidole sp. I wish I had taken better quality photos before putting them away, however soon as a month or two passes by I'll try to take a better pic of them.
