Odontomachus brood boosting

[FloridAnt]

Lots of rain these day and found lots of odontomachus nest would taking a few cocoons from these help Jump start her, she has two larvae and some eggs she has been in my care for a some months. Will this work and can I do it? (Huge chance that the larvae are alates)

You can try but sometimes the queen wont care for the brood you put in with her i tried to brood boost a camponotus Pennsylvanicus but it didn't care for it.

I tried itroducing 3 cacoons from a locol colony and she carried into her nest so hopefully they are workers

One cacoon enclosed but worker was rejected or something becuase outside of nest but is still moving legs so not sired what happened yet?
