Can a semi-claustrial queen restart?

I was looking for queens and I tipped over a log and found some large ponerine ants. I caught one. Now looking at it again it looked like a queen.
Will a semi-claustrial queen restart or not. I will add a testube in an outworld.

I will post an id thread later.

Re: What's happening?

Phiedole will have satellite nest and because they have multiple queens they will move some into the satellite nest. Just give it time.

Re: Only one worker and moving

It can be normal for just one worker. Place a piece of drinking straw through the cotton on the end of the tube and place it in an outworld. Feed the colony in there. Raise the colony in the testube

How to in embed a photo from imgur

I'm wandering if there is a way to embed images from imgur instead of using the url feature.
