I would say queen 1 looks very simular to Camp. Ligniperda.. Not sure about 2 tho.. I would say they r both Camp tho.. but im guessin u knew that already lol

Hi Jimmy,

they are both Camponotus sp. But I think you already
know this....

The second queen looks for me like a Camponotus maculatus.
But I´m not sure. There are so many Camponotus in Argentina,
it is impossible to id this ants per pics!

;) Yes my thought also goes out to a Camponotus sp. but i don't know which one. ligniperda i think not, to small and i think they are not found in Argentina.

I think the second specie is Camponotus (Myrmaphaenus) blandus...but i'm not so sure.

For me it doesn't look like C. blandus - not at all. :?
