I need help with identifying my queen ant
Hi, I am new to the ant keeping hobby and this queen is the only queen which lasted this long. I caught this ant in Singapore. Please tell me what species it is and if it is claustral or semi-claustral. There is a file attached with her picture. Thank you

The photo does not work.
Try posting the image on imgur.com and sending us the link.

Re: I need help with identifying my queen ant
Also here is more information:
The queen in the test tube usually doesn’t move but she sometimes comes into the outworld like in the picture.
As a safety measure I put some sugar water in her outworld in the blue container as shown in the picture just in case she is semi-claustral. She seems to drink it but I am not sure (the sugar water is made of bottled water by the way).
I caught her almost a month ago on my balcony.
Sorry as I accidentally posted two questions on this same topic the information will also be there on the other post.
Thank you.

Sorry about the many replies but my queen is around an inch and a half long.

Re: I need help with identifying my queen ant
She is a Camponotus queen (fully-claustral).
Why keep ants that aren't found in your yard?
There are so many fascinating ants right where you live!
I disagree with the keeping/buying of ants that aren't in your area.
