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.

1 is Camponotus, 2 is a termite, 3 is most likely Nylanderia.

First one is probably C. maculatus, or Camponotus maculatus, and the second one is a termite, and the third is like what SYUTEO identified as Nylanderia.

Keeping:

3x - S. molesta (colonies and single queen)                1x - C. nearcticus (founding but no eggs)   (y) New!

1x - C. chromaiodes (colony)                                       1x - C. subbarbatus (founding)  

1x - F. subsericea (founding)                                        1x - T. sessile (mega colony)

3x - P. imparis (colonies)  

2x - L. neoniger (founding)
