I would like to know what species these different ants are. I caught them in the Netherlands, Drenthe. On 12-jul 2019. Image

Hi there, these are all Lasius sp. (probably Lasius Niger) queens as their massive nuptial flight happened on the 11th of July in the Netherlands. I've caught 12 of them in the nearest city Nijmegen where I live ;)
