Hi All:
Getting warm here in the Bay Area in Califnoria.
Found 3 queens this week.
2 I'm 80% sure are Prenolepis imparis, but would love a confirmation.

I've already put them together and they seem to be getting along okay.
The first one I caught I only had a Gatorade bottle, so it's slightly blue.
They seem to have drank a lot of water and both their abdomens are much larger than when I first caught them.
The 3rd one is unknown to me:

Please help with the identification.
I hope to give them happy homes and the first step to that is knowing what they like.

The third is most likely to be a camponotus species

Where at in the Bay Area? I am new to the Forums and live in Walnut Creek. I wanted to find a Queen, but was not going to start looking until April - May, but if they are out and about, I might as well start talking some walks and see if I can spot any Queens.
Thank you,
Luke
