I found 3 wasps, are they queens? First two are P. dominula I think, and the third is Mischocyttarus sp.

Queen? one:

Based on the time of year are these likely to be queens?

Yeah, all queens. Your IDs are also correct. The third queen is M. flavitarsis.

Thank you! Is founding M. flavitarsis similar to Polistes?
