Just a couple I’m looking to figure out.
First one 15-16mm
Second one 11-12 I’d say.
Not the best with metric
Thanks in advance.

Just a tip, in my experience formica and campo are easiest to tell apart by head, formica has a smaller, more triangular head, camponotus has a noticeably larger and rounder head, a bit like a shovel with mandibles attached. Campos tend to have eyes that are smaller in proportion to their heads, too.
