How do I care for my odontomachus? I keep catching them and they keep dying. What methods should I use that would give me a future colony?

They need food during their founding process (sugar water/honey and dead insects), so it's best to place the tube with the queen inside an outworld and place some food there (theoretically you could feed them inside the tube but that stresses the queen and attracts mold).
