That does look like an Odantomachus queen, although some better images of the meosoma (thorax) would help.
This species is semi-claustral, and appreciates small, soft-bodied insects.

That's a queen.
Pinheads would probably be a suitable food for them. You may need to try different things.

beautiful pics!
Proverbs 6:6-8
Go to the ant, you sluggard;
consider its ways and be wise!
It has no commander,
no overseer or ruler,
yet it stores its provisions in summer
and gathers its food at harvest.
