Help me with queen id
I was walking in the park and then i noticed some like clouds of mosquitoes i soom realized they were ants i managed to capture 2 queens one hase no wings and the other has but i saw her mating with a male ant so i think she is fertile i think the queens are solenopsis fugax, monomorium minimum or tetramorium .
But im not sure and i want to be 100% sure what is the species of my queen ant

Re: Help me with queen id
That's great and good job! But could you please sent us a link where we could find a good picture of your queen to identify her? For instance try uploading a good photo of her in the site Postimage, here's the link! https://postimages.org/
Here's a tip for taking pictures of queens. Behind the test tube where she currently lives in or whatever you have put her in for a founding chamber, put a paper towel or something, so that you can focus better on the queen with your camera/phone better. If she is small then put the camera up close. This is all I have. Please take the picture and We will try to identify her.

New to ant keeping, keeping a Messor structor colony. Also I have 2 camponotus queens and what seems, 2 tetramorium queens

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Also the queens do look like a solenopsis species for sure and I'm very positive i'ts a solenopsis fugax one as you said.
