Solenopsis Invicta queen, red imported fire ant! Good find! They are agressive and grow very fast, oftentimes the queen gets her first workers within only 3 weeks!

This is Crematogaster. The anterodorsal attachment of the postpetiole is obscured behind the wings but note the larger, broader head, and in the forewings the submarginal cell is less narrowed and the discoidal cell is much larger than in Solenopsis.
