Moved from Ants.

Aphaenogaster, probably A. ca
Aphaenogaster, probably A. carolinensis (antwiki says DNA analysis necessary to confirm ID due to overlap with A. rudis/A. texana, but antweb doesn't show either of the competing species in your area).

 
Thanks
We have both species on our Maryland Biodiversity Project checklist - https://www.marylandbiodiversity.com/viewSpecies.php?species=9379
