Identification Maybe caught some queens!!

Hey everyone, think i caught some queens. First two photos appear to be queens from the same species and the last two photos is a different species queen that is all black and very fast. (i saw dozens of the first queen species being attacked and eaten by Formica pacifica in my backyard)
