Melophorus (furnace ants.) They are supposed to be flying around now. I haven’t got any though They are also a lot like pheidole, which tiny workers and massive majors. There heads are also cute too.

They are fully claustral, so a simple test tube should be good for now.

Thanks SO MUCH! I've had them for about 3-4 weeks but no eggs

I caught six but i didnt have a test tube so i kept them in a normal container for a night. Unfortnately 6 died . btw, try and catch them after a rainy day
