It's a queen. Semi-claustral. Feed her protein and sugar even before workers.

Polyrhachis sp.

Semi-claustral setups are exactly the same, except you leave the test tube open in a foraging arena. You'll need to provide insects and sugary liquid throughout the founding stages.
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.
