General care/feeding for Pogonomyrmex Brutus?

I had captured a Pogo Brutus queen running along the pavement near the woods next to my house and she has laid quite a few eggs in the classic test tube setup. I was wondering if they are semi-claustral or not and what I should be feeding her! I have some dried mealworms and some sesame seeds which I know they'll need due to being harvester ants and all. I also have a dubia roach colony I breed for food for my bearded dragon and was wondering if maybe I should take a small nymph and feed it to her in the test tube! Thank you all for the help in advance!

There are no Pogonomyrmex in Alaska and Pogonomyrmex brutus is not a species.
If you enjoy my expertise and identifications, please do not put wild populations at risk of disease by releasing pet colonies. We are responsible to give our pets the best care we can manage for the rest of their lives.
