Hi!!!
So today i caught an alate pseudomyrmex!
Idk the species yet, but she's definitely not a gracillis..
Anyway, i was reading about how to take care of them, and they're semi-claustral, which complicates a bit due to me not having proper outworlds
But, i have an idea. Ill take a small container and put some of those perlite white pebbles... Is this Ok???
(also, my wildest guess at her sp is Pseudomyrmex Acanthobius, ill post a pic of her soon!)

Re: New Pseudomyrmex queen!
Definitely ok. Or you can place her in a wrapped up test tube and place it in a container with pebbles or sand and just drop a sugar and protein source. Once she forages, she will surely find itOinkus wrote: ↑Sat May 21, 2022 11:41 pmHi!!!

Re: New Pseudomyrmex queen!
Not 100% on ID ,
But how does this look

Also, they LOVE nectar and sugar sources, and it is yes for founding. Otherwise, the queen may not forage and loose energy.(Don’t get too stressed I am sure yours is fine but give her sugar water/nectar ASAP
