Just a quick question about my camponotus consobrinus colony

Just asking,
At how many workers should I move my sugar band ants aka camponotus consobrinus to the Formica formicarium and outworld. They are currently in two test tubes connected by a test tube port. Also as a bonus question, what outworld kit should I use that's best for them.
Cheers,
Josh

What species is this?

I don't know what species it is? It might not be even an ant to begin with.
I live in Queensland, Australia and I found it on the 06/4/20.
Any clues?

Will the queen be alright? ...
