Found these in the backyard, the red one in a tarp with many others so I'm assuming it is an ant.
The black ones were spotted with a colony simply moving from one nest hole to another- there were many small workers but I found these two bigger ones in line. Are they possibly queens? The workers are extremely small and I caught some as well.
Hopefully the photos show up and are usable.

Re: Ant ID? STL MO end of July
Hard to tell without a closer photo, but they look like Tetramorium spp (of the T. caespitum complex, includes many species, most unnamed and called either T. caespitum, T. spE, or T. immigrans), ie. pavement ants based on the petiole, post-petiole and body proportions.
