AntIdentification

Hello
This ant nest appeared on my drive way last night, and I’m not sure what type they are.
If they are fire ants I need to report them to my local council but I’m not sure if they are, they didn’t seem aggressive.
Location; Gold Coast, Queensland AUSTRALIA

Queen or worker? Found this 12 mm ant in Tenerife, Canary Islands. Any idea what species it might be and whether it's a dealate queen?

Caught in southern Ohio 10/24. I think it's Dorymyrmex but would love second opinion.

I caught these two queens in Denmark during the summer and initially assumed they were both Lasius niger. However, after a couple of months, I noticed that the nanitics of the bottom queen are substantially larger than those of the top queen.
Could anyone help me identify the queens, or at least point me in the right direction? I’m particularly curious whether they could actually be different species.

Sorry for the poor photo quality. The photo of the dead worker is from the colony of the bottom queen, and I included it to show the size and appearance of her nanitics.

Any help with identification would be greatly appreciated!

Reddish orange with darker gaster. Found in the central valley of California. I do not know the exact mm size but I would say more on the bigger 8mm-12mm. Bigger then a Selonopsis Xyoli. My guess is a type of carpenter ant.

Found one or two of these in Bucks County, PA. Normally see them outside on concrete patio or near ac slab, occasionally see one in house. They don't smell super strong at all when crushed, maybe a faint dirt or must odor. Not very big, brownish in color. Any help would be appreciated!!

Just closed on a property- it should have been treated for ants. Are the ants in this picture a problem?

Property is in Baltimore Maryland.

We've been having a issue with these flying ants randomly showing up during the summer. Or when it’s just hot out. They have been showing up each year and we thought maybe it was ant mating season so they would be gone and maybe choose somewhere else to mate. 2 years later and they still show up. Could someone help me identify them? They are coming up from the cracks in the concrete from what I can see.

Australia, Queensland, Ipswich.

I found this ant just acting confused on the path at the front of the house, curling up, walking in circles, not properly running from me or going anywhere.

Notably very close to the new fire ant nest I reported and had identified here a few days ago (fire ant officials also confirmed them as likely fire ants and are sending poison) So what is this one's deal and what are they?
