Zurich/Switzerland 2 Queen Ants

Hello Friends

I'm new to ant keeping and was just roaming around to find some ant queens. I found these two. If you could let me know, what species they are (and if they really are queens ) that would be great.

Comment: Seems to be in a state of shock, does not move. I had to guide her into the testtube with a cotton swab.

Edit: Sadly, the smaller queen (2) did not make it

Queen two looks like a Formica queen, but I am not sure…

Queen one is parasitic species, someone more experienced iD’ing ants in this part of the world is more likely to get a correct ID

Thank you for your assessment! I released to lasius queen/s (found two more) again, since for my first ant colony I don't see myself with a parasitic queen
