Re: Id please
The second kind of ant is not Crematogaster lineolata, and in fact, is not Crematogaster at all.
The distinctive features of the genus Crematogaster are: (1) a gaster that starts roughly square and terminates to a conspicuous point at which the sting is located (The gaster is more commonly regarded as cordate, or heart-shaped. Note that the lengths and widths of gasters vary between species and castes, though the main shape is the same.); (2) a petiole with two nodes (and thus, a Myrmicine genus), having the postpetiole attached to the gaster dorsally; and (3) a round, subquadrate, or subtrapezoidal head.
These queens would more likely be a different type of Lasius, or some other Formicine species, since they lack those features. They seem to have only a single petiolar node, and if so, are not part of the subfamily Mymicinae (which is what the genus Crematogaster is part of). But better pictures would always be nice.
First year and already enjoying it!
