Ant 3, smallest of all 3, recently laid some eggs.

Ant number one looks like it is probably a camponotus or crematogaster queen. I don't know what species ant 2 is and i think ant 3 might be Pheidole .

None of these are Crematogaster. Queen 1 is a Camponotus species. The second one is a termite, not an ant. More knowledgeable people will need to help with number three.
