Probable Tetramorium Immigrans

I have a new queen that is probably Tetramorium Immigrans. Just a few questions:

Are they fully claustral?

If she does eventually found a colony, what are their preferred foods?

How long does it usually take from egg to eclosed worker, if she does end up being fertilized?

They are fully claustral. They will eat anything eatable. 3-4 weeks egg to worker.
Why keep ants that aren't found in your yard?
There are so many fascinating ants right where you live!
I disagree with the keeping/buying of ants that aren't in your area.
