It is not a good idea to catch mature colonies, especially native ones. I'd wait for their mating season to catch them.

I agree. Digging up a colony is very difficult. I would strongly suggest waiting till flight season.
Proverbs 6:6-8
Go to the ant, you sluggard;
consider its ways and be wise!
It has no commander,
no overseer or ruler,
yet it stores its provisions in summer
and gathers its food at harvest.
