I found ant colonies and I need help to identify them
Hello to the forum!

the first photo wave are unknown ants for me
the second photo wave (the middle photos with the small ants) I guess lasius niger...?
and the last photos with the "big ants" I think are Carpenter ants

Difficult to tell from these photos. Try to get clear shots with more detail. Front, side, and top profile shots are best.
Ants kept
Nylanderia sp.
Camponotus sp.
Paratrechina Longicornis
Pheidole sp.
