New queens, what are they?
Hey guys; i think they are lasius niger. Not 100% sure though. Also the 3rd one, the one i posted about earlier in a different thread, is half the size of the other 2. Anyone have better info than i already have? Thanks guys.

Re: New queens, what are they?
the smaller one looks to be Iridomyrmex bicknelli. the larger 2 i'm not exactly sure, but if i were to guess they would be part of the Iridomyrmex genus possibly iridomyrmex purpureus. do you know how long they are?

Re: New queens, what are they?
Oh, well i was way off lol. All i see around he is common garden ants and green ants, and if I was correct the garden ants are Lasius Niger.
The little girl measures at 6mm and the larger girls measure at 8mm.

Re: New queens, what are they?
The Lasius genus is not native to Australia so, I agree it being some species of Iridomyrmex.

Re: New queens, what are they?
Mustn't have searched properly cause they aren't coming up in a search now. I must have been searching too broadly.
Thanks everyone for the input. My first queens ever so excited to see them develop over the coming months into a full fledged colony.
