Found today while hunting queens?

Ok again no clue so I thought I'd ask my fellow ant lovers! Plus still at work.

Caught today, 530pm, here in Tuscaloosa Al.

Male ants.

Male ants.

That's what I thought too but they are pitch black in comparison. Solenopsis are a reddish and it really shows between to two. LOL would make sense. Oh well they will die anyways.

Male ants.

Well fights were again today and the area is flooded with males and the above are not it. Their thoraxes are way too big, now the below pic is of one of the males much smaller over all and much smaller head.

I am really bad with identifying male ants. I do suggest looking at this page though. All of the species found in Alabama.

Yea if I hadn't already seen what the fire ant males look like I would doubt it. But Hey We'll know in a few weeks. If they are males they will be for sure dead in the TT's. I am still a beginner and always open to advice! You can never learn enough and you can never learn everything! And thanks for that link!!

That pic looks like Lasius neoniger queen.
