I think the one with the partial gold tail is a Golden-tailed sugar ant. I also dont know what species exactly but I'm pretty sure that the first picture is a camponotous queen. Glad I could help.

Hey, I think you're correct about the Golden-tailed Sugar ant "Camponotus aeneopilosus".
In my research I didn't see them as "native ants". But I usualy cross with them here.
Actually I caugth many Golden-Tailed Queens. Thanks for the help!

Analasing the #04 ant, I supose it can be from Genus Dinoponera.
Due to that, I'm not sure if it's realy a queen.
