I'm tossing in my vote on #1 as Solenopsis Molesta as they are what I've got around my house. Not sure so I'll leave that one alone.
The colony of SM's hasn't been located this year... but I know they are out there. Every time I found them, it was a pile of ants.

You've somehow managed to find one queen of a different species....fairly easily? It sure sounded like you found them easily last year. I've got faith in ya'!

Temnothorax aren't usually found under rocks. I'd say first one is Solenopsis Molesta.

I would disagree with that. I have found at least 5 colonies in rocks last hike. I couldn't find the queens though.Temnothorax aren't usually found under rocks. I'd say first one is Solenopsis Molesta.
