The first I think is Dorymyrmex the second looks like Solenopsis.
The last looks like a parasitic tetra because it was a yellow tetra among a bunch of black workers which I think are immagrims. They looked like tetras to me but maybe there not.F88B0719-FB49-4A43-BD23-3EA8265FB24C.jpeg 8A89EBB4-7D60-45E0-8D2C-17CC5E5A377F.jpeg

The tiny yellow ant was so small that my camera didn’t focus at all so the photo is kind of useless

Hard to tell what the myrmicine species is from the photo, probably Tetramorium immigrans or Pheidole pilifera. The other (which resembles Dorymyrmex) is Forelius pruinosus.

I'd like to see a more focused and more lateral view before ruling out Dorymyrmex grandulus.
