I recently moved my tetramorium immigrans ants to my new house, but several of them escaped in the box. How can I put them back in their setup? Should I put them in another temporary setup?

I know this is very late but a few days ago someone identified a queen I caught as a parasitic lasius species of some sort. As mentioned before I have another colony who is probably also a lasius species, could I replace their dead queen with this queen? Sorry if this is a really dumb question, I've...

I caught this queen early in spring and put her in a test tube. Usually, I feed the colony a small chun...

Thanks so much, really appreciate the help.
