Re: Oklahoma Mated Elates Captured

They are either solenopsis invicta or solenopsis geminata. I'm not good at differentiating them so you might have to do the final identification (or someone else more capable than me can help)

Re: Starting a colony

You should put a moist paper towel ball or a moist cotton ball so she can drink
If she lays eggs in the cup, you can first move her into the test tube and then using a moist small paintbrush, gently scoop the eggs and place them in the test tube
