Formica obscuripes fully claustral?
Hi everyone, I caught a queen ant which got identified as Formica obscuripes but I don't know if the queen is fully claustral or semi-claustral or parasitic. Can anyone tell me?

Re: HELP!!!! Queen any not laying!!
Thank you for the reply. I know I probably overreacted but I know for sure she is a queen. She has wing scars but no wings and I saw 2 workers with her which I wasn't able to catch. The species is very small, so I was thinking maybe temnothorax or brachymyrmex? I check on her around once a week.

HELP!!!! Queen any not laying!!
I recently caught a queen ant from a young wild colony in my backyard. I immediately put her in a test tube set up and it has been several weeks but she still has not lain any eggs. I gave her little bit of honey. Why isn't she laying any eggs??
