Looks like a queen Solenopsis
Looks like a queen Solenopsis to me, but I'm by no means positive (queens are hard for me...)

definitely not Solenopsis
antennae have too many segments (12); probably another Pheidole

Yes, definitely Pheidole
Could be P. dentigula, but don't take this as a certain ID.
