I just caught a Tetramorium ant and I have just a few questions on them.
1. Are they claustral or semi-claustral?
2. How long do I leave the queen in the test tube before letting them forage for food?

They're a claustural species and I had mine in a test tube until they had 25 workers

Re: Questions about Tetramorium sp e queen
They should be allowed to forage freely after the first bunch of workers, however.
If you enjoy my expertise and identifications, please do not put wild populations at risk of disease by releasing pet colonies. We are responsible to give our pets the best care we can manage for the rest of their lives.
