Hello I am a long time fan of AntsCanada and a first time queen capturer I’m broke af so I’ve opted to put her in a water bottle I’ve poked holes in and I’ve placed a wad of water soaked toilet paper for drinking needs placed in a sprig of redwood leaves for aeration and drizzled some honey for sugar. I am native to California but am visiting Idaho (a little late in the nuptial flight season) and thought I could get lucky and was successful. I will be returning home to California in a few days and hope that she will survive the airplane flight (please let me know if I should be worried or not) I will attempt to attach some pictures below.Image
I will also provide the imgur link https://imgur.com/gallery/bdSiueM
Thank you all so much for your help :D

I don't see why she wouldn't survive the flight, but you probably should check if you're allowed to bring her along in the first place? From what I gather the rules in the US are pretty strict.
