Need some help for my new odontomachus (mabye brunneus) queen.

So i recently found an odontomachus queen wandering around in my yard, so of course I ran out, grabbed my container, got it in the container, and prepared a fresh test tube setup. So i have the queen, but I have no idea really how to take care of it. I put some fresh dirt from one of my reptile's tanks (I have some lizards), because I have read that trap-jaw ants have 'slippery legs', and also they need the dirt for the larva to form the cocoons. But I have some main questions I need answered. First and likely most important, are odontomachus queens fully claustral or semi claustral? So do I have to feed the queen, or leave her completely? Also, what exactly do I feed her and maybe the future colony, because I have heard they are mostly carnivorous? All help is appreciated, thanks! :)

They are defiantly semi-caustral.

You can feed her termites,crickets etc.
