Re: Lasius Niger

Lasius are pretty hardy ants so they should be OK at temperatures above 0 °C.
At room temperature they are still active but brood stops developing and the ants are waiting for winter.

Re: Lasius niger worker with two heads

These are small larvae and will not continue developing without hibernation.
You can hibernate them now.
Good luck!

Re: Lasius niger worker with two heads

Really? I've never seen anything like it. Can you make a photo?
I recommend hibernating them.

Re: With what and how should I feed semi-claustral queens?

A small insect every 2 to 3 days should be OK.
Good luck!

Re: New Queen / Begginer

I'm not sure if she is Solenopsis. Might be Pheidole, Monomorium and others.
Can you make a few more photos?

Re: Lots of Questions

Another alternative of the test tube can be a tic tac box.
I don't think you will need the nest already.
