Here are some photos of the ants i mentioned in another post. I gave them a termite alate so i could catch some photos. Yellow orange thorax and black head and gaster. My guess is crematogaster. Size 3 mm. location delhi, india

Possibly Paratrechina, Lepisiota, Plagiolepis or Nylanderia.

Thanks. They are definitely not paratrechina cause they are wayyy different from them. They are slower and more fat ant they don't move like crazy ants
