Ant number one looks like it is probably a camponotus or crematogaster queen. I don't know what species ant 2 is and i think ant 3 might be Pheidole .

None of these are Crematogaster. Queen 1 is a Camponotus species. The second one is a termite, not an ant. More knowledgeable people will need to help with number three.

1 is Camponotus, 2 is a termite, 3 is most likely Nylanderia.

First one is probably C. maculatus, or Camponotus maculatus, and the second one is a termite, and the third is like what SYUTEO identified as Nylanderia.

Keeping:

5x - S. molesta (founding) 2x - C. pennsylvanicus (colonies)

4x - C. chromaiodes (colonies)

4x - T. immigrans (founding queens and colonies)

1x - F. subsericea (founding)
