Re: How can I catch queen ants?
You can make a “trap” by laying some stones with damp soil underneath. Also, you can use a container with dirt to house ants until you get gear. Move them out by not wetting the soil when needed to move(When all soil is filled with brood and ants)
When you accidentally reply to yourself…

Re: How can I catch queen ants?
Anything that is not massively oversized and either with a way of providing water or something that got a storage of water. Testtubes are just by default the best choice, since they are easy to clean and not too expensive. Got me 100 testtubes for 30€ on amazon and I still got more than enough left.
Doing some proper research is the best way to start an antcolony.
