07/05/2017 Lexington Ky USA attempt #2

[LostInTheVoid]

My first post was a hot mess so I remade it.
I have a few that I caught on the same day. Found all of them on my porch about 8:00pm


Photo#1
About 10mm, caught 8 and very fast.



Photo#2

5mm, caught 2, very black and smooth looking



Photo#3

4mm, about the same size as Photo#2, very transparent in the light.



Photo #4

This one I caught with 3 others on 06/21/2017 drowning in my daughter's swimming pool. 5mm looks like Photo#3 almost when I look at it but didn't want to disturb to much since there are already eggs.

I am hoping to figure out if any are semi claustral so I can figure out a build so they can eat but not take up a lot of space. If I need to I was thinking of putting a straw between two test tubes threw the cotton.
Thanks for all the help.

2nd Queen = Crematogaster Sp.
3rd Queen = Solenopsis Sp. ~ Probably?

Uncertain About The First / Fourth Queens, But They're All Fully-Claustral Queens For Sure.
