Multiple Queens 10/16 Maryland

There were a lot of ants flying yesterday afternoon.
#13 I am guessing is Brachymyrmex depilis.
# 12, and #14-#18 I am guessing are Lasius spp. I am hoping they aren't social parasites as I don't have colonies available for them to parasitize.
Here are some of them emerging from a nest:
#12 6.5mm
#13 ~4mm
#14 6.5mm
#15 6.5mm
#16 6.5mm
#17 6.5mm
#18 6.5mm
