Hey guys! 

 

So i'm going to upload a few pictures. 3 of the queens I am sure are ants lol the 4th... I have no idea so please, any help identifying any if not all of these would help me A LOT! All of these were captured just walking down the sidewalk in Lawrence, KS on 05OCT2016

 

Ant one This one is about 6mm long

 

 

Ant two looks a lot like one but it has a longer/skinnier body about 7mm 

 

 

 

ant three is a lighter color about 6mm sorry for crappy pics

 

 

 

insect 4... no idea but i don't think its an ant. its about 1cm long, black with white spots half way up antena, on its center back and on stinger.

Ant 1 and 2 are Crematogaster spp.

 

Ant 3 is Lasius spp.

 

#4 is not an ant.
