Sup guys i just caught 2 queen ants in Dunsborough, Western Australia. I caught them on the 20th of october by the beach. They are both different species. I will specify the size of the ants with the pictures.
Thanks!!!1!1

The first one is approx 7mm (see last image) It has a white stripe on it’s abdomen.

The second one is alot smaller and a more orange/brown colour. It is approx 5mm long (see first image) and yes, it’s in a gatorade bottle.

The first one looks like a crematogastor species. The second one looks like a lasius species. Im not 100% sure but they look like it...

the second can't be lasius as it does not exist in Australia.

2 x iridomyrmex pallidus: 40+ workers
