Thank you both!
Brian Fisher from the Cal Academy of Sciences just responded and said he couldn't tell for certain, but that he thought it might be Formica subaenescens and that he could confirm once she has a few workers.

Can you feed your ants dead insects?
Hello,
I'm considering starting an ant colony, but the idea of feeding the ants living insects (or killing them myself) is very unappealing to me. My local pet store says they sell dead mealworms. Would this, ***** by some meat/seeds be a decent protein source for a Tetramorium colony?
Thank you!

But I have two big questions: 1) Could a formicarium thrive in a classroom setting? I would do the work caring for ...
