pheidole or solenipsis ?

so, some time ago i got some queens, that i thought were solenopsis germinata, but if found out that close to my house theres ALSO a pheidole species that looks a LOT like a the dark form of fire ants. i tried looking around trying to identificate it, but i wasn't able, so i am resorting to a second way to find it out: super majors. the queen already has a clutch of eggs that i saw about a week ago, and i need to know with what population they start to make majors and super majors so i can identificate them.

You can just post some photos of your colony and we should be able to identifie them for you.
My current colonies:
-Miniature Military(formica neogagates)
-Black Hearts(crematogaster cerasi)
In search of new camponotus colony
[Have a look at antmaps.org]

Due to 2 factors i cant do that

They are in a really bad place, i was putting them on random things just to store them until i found a better place for them and i totaly forgot about this one for some time, and thus she laid a huge clutch of eggs, which i dont want to lose.

My camera is REALLY bad, and i cant even take good photos of people.

soon i will transfer the queen to a better place if she survives.
