Found this black queen ant in middle of Sweden. I was wondering what queen ant it is and how do i take care of it.
It's about 1 cm long, really fast.

There we have my current setup. I use tap water should I use bottled instead? And what creates that black mold anyway to make it not grow?

I’ve been keeping my ants in a basic test tube set up cotton and water! Problem I’m having is that the water is drying up! Not sure how to move the ants to a new setup without stressing them. Any advise?

A Formica social parasite which will need about 6 Formica pupae in order to start her colony.

Does it matter what formica species pupae i give her?

She probably is fertilized but might not feel comfortable in the setup. Are they the same species of ants that you keep in the jar?

I want to create a ytong formicarium. But I'm not sure how to make a water system that works. anyone got any tips how to create one?
