Here are the queens. They are about 5/8 inch in length from their mandibles to the tip of their gasters.

They are either solenopsis invicta or solenopsis geminata. I'm not good at differentiating them so you might have to do the final identification (or someone else more capable than me can help)
Ants I have-
camponotus compressus colony- the shadow warriors.
Pls just let me have a tetramorium colony
