I'm pretty sure I have two separate species here. In the first picture, each line is just a hair over 1/16 of an inch. In the second picture the bottom measurements are CM and the top is inches.

These are actually both the same species, solenopsis invicta. Its just that the bottom one is a male while the top ones are queens.

Well shoot. Definitely not interested in keeping this species. Makes sense though. We found about thirty queens in one spot.
