Caught these alates just as the sun was rising.

Maybe 4 mm. Looked like an over sized temnothorax male. Pheidole tysoni?

Caught around 11 pm probably 6 mm.

First one is a Pheidole male, maybe tysoni, morrisii, or dentata. I think the second one is a Tapinoma sessile male.

Tysoni I would think given the time of day

All three of those species fly at sunrise.

I found these near where I black light. Can’t tell if it’s tysoni or morrisii. Sorry for the bad photos. IMG_0431.jpeg IMG_0423.jpeg
