If anyone has any information about this ant species, please tell me. Stuff like queen/worker length, polymorphism, how they travel, (straight or random) what wild colonies live in, etc. Thx in advance. (Yes I copy/pasted from my last post, there are 3 species I'm gathering information about.)

Paratrechina longicornis colonies are usually found under rocks, leaves, a crack in a wall etc. They would eat anything they find. The queens can clone themselves and mate with males in the nest so that means they live forever. They also run extremely fast and are escape artists (at least in my opinion).

They are also very nomadic meaning they will go different places very quickly so you need to keep track of the colony if you are gonna collect yhem from wild
Ants I have-
camponotus compressus colony- the shadow warriors.
Pls just let me have a tetramorium colony
