Hello guys,more crappy pics for your eyes to struggle πŸ˜….Both queens found in the same location,in the city near a park with grass right next to the sea.Found at night under a street light.I caught multiple queens but it is clear that these are 2 different due to their sizes.First three pictures are one kind,the three other are of the second kind.First three pictures are of a queen that is 1 cm very dark brown or even black colour,no colour variation from head to gaster.The second queen is smaller 0.7 cm dark colour but the underside of her gaster appears yellow-orange.Both are night time flyers.Thank you in advance

The second one is clearly a Tetramorium species. The first one may be pheidole pallidula, although I’m not sure.
