Are they even ants?
So about a month or two ago I caught what looked like a small black queen ant, she still had her wings but I put her in the test tube setup anyway. I constantly checked her and saw eggs in the first week. I checked her this morning and she had a lot of pupae and 3 ''workers'', I was pretty excited until I saw the wings. All three of the workers had wings. They were smaller than the queen but they had wings, she didn't fly and always walks around the test tube but, is she even an ant??? I'll send a picture when I can.

Re: Are they even ants?
unfortunately that queen hasn't mated that's way all the workers are males with wings
1x Lasius Niger - early forging stage - 60-100 workers
1x Messor Barbarus - founding stage - <20 workers
1x Camponotus Turkestanus - claustral stage - 1 nanitic + brood
1x Odontoponera Transversa - semi-claustral stage - no eggs
