Hello I was lucky enough to catch two queens today but I need help identifying them.
this is the first queen she is small I'm not sure the length just roughly the length of my fingernail
now the other queen I believe she is formica subscericea like another one of my queens but I just wanted to be sure

Dorymyrmex bureni and Formica sp.
F. subsericea is a good guess, but we would have to see how long her antennal scapes (the first, long segment of her antennae) are in comparison to the length of her head above the mandibles.

If you enjoy my expertise and identifications, please do not put wild populations at risk of disease by releasing pet colonies. We are responsible to give our pets the best care we can manage for the rest of their lives.
