Re: Queen Ant ID - Denver, CO.

A normal setup is fine. Put your Queen somewhere safe and dry and check on her once every few 1-2 weeks.

No it’s fully claustral so you don’t need to feed it.

Re: Solenopsis invvicta

Be patient. It can take several hours to several weeks for a Queen ant to lay eggs. Give it some more time. If it still doesn’t lay eggs I would release it because it might not be fertile.

Re: Weird Ant (Possibly not even an ant)

Red velvet ant. But don’t be mistaken the Red velvet is a wasp not an ant. If I were you I would release as soon as possible because their stings hurt like crazy!!!!!
