I caught two different species of ants today, both are queens. I'm not sure on the species though. Sorry, the website said the attachment quota was full so I have to upload the photos to my Google drive.
The first queen is 9mm from her mandibles to the tip of her gaster and seems to have a sting. Here is her picture: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1o5UIghzjOoj56YtCeD-su_ViHs_x-xd5/view?usp=drivesdk
The second queen is 6mm from her mandibles to the tip of her gaster and has not shed her wings yet. Here is her picture: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1P2bLm_RzMzXzU4QgolibF1fuF5NjG3vV/view?usp=drivesdk

Sorry about that, try it now. I have a possible ID for the larger of the two, Crematogaster Sp.

Re: Queen ID: Oklahoma, USA
This is the larger queen, the one I suspect to be Crematogaster Sp. Could you verify please?: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VEGrFEYsRcOBVIOjYYauxbxrHjeCb5-6/view?usp=drivesdk

Re: Queen ID: Oklahoma, USA
You are correct about the Crematogaster. The other queen is an Aphaenogaster sp.
