The first picture won't work and could you take a higher resolution photo for the second?

Re: What species are these 2 ants
I did some research and I think one of the ants is camponotus but probably wrong . I'm a beginner ant keeper .

Re: What species are these 2 ants
Collecting mature colonies from the wild is not a good way to obtain an ant colony.
The first ants are Aphaenogaster, but none of the pupae I can see in that container belong to them. Some of those look like bees.
The carpenter ant queen is Camponotus chromaiodes.

If you enjoy my expertise and identifications, please do not put wild populations at risk of disease by releasing pet colonies. We are responsible to give our pets the best care we can manage for the rest of their lives.
