Ant idenfication.

Alright, so I decided that I'm going to make one topic about ant idenfication so I don't need to make several for every ant. Basically I will try to identify the species myself, then come here just to confirm it, or if I really can't find the species then to ask for assistance.

My first one is some rather cool looking ants, I believe they are Cerabera diversa (Marauder ants). The minor is about a millimeter in length and the major is about 3-4 mm, they don't sting, however they do have determination to take me down.
Keeping:

• Cataulacus granulatus x2
• Camponotus parius
• Odontomachus sp x4
• Pheidole prava x1
• Pseudoneoponera sp x1

Maybe even pheidole, but honestly that is a guess as I am barely adjusted to anything outside florida(Or the americas)

Don't all Pheidole sting? These ants, major or minor did not sting me.

Pheidole dont have stingers as far as i am aware. I let them crawl all over me and they act real heroic biting me and acting like they can actually break the skin
