Yeah, a lot of us have that issue. Many Antkeepers who are in your area aren’t active in forums, and make one or two post requesting an ID and never really come back.

I like interacting with other ant keepers, talk about ants, and even other stuff. One of the reasons why I'm so active.

That’s also why I am active, and I also tend to learn based on journals and ID request.

Hopefully someday, I would be able to confidently answer other people's questions, and help them too.

The queen with one antenna, she got a larvae, but ate it. I don't know why, but it doesn't look like she goes and forages in her out world. Maybe she doesn't know she has one, I'm also trying to get her to move out of her dirty ytong nest and into the out world. What do I do?

Check local reptile stores and see if they have springtails, they significantly help with cleanup. I never have to clean my Odontomachus ytong nest, unless I over feed them. What do you mean, into the outworld? She will not dig another founding chamber, so it would deplete her energy searching for another nesting space. Could you upload pictures of the nest? Also, provide substrate for her to place on the mold. Sometimes it kills the mold, so be sure to take that precaution with all ytong nest. How big are Pseduponera?

Also, she may be nocturnal or forage under leaves(or any decoration). With size I can get a better understanding of the situation, so please provide that.

Sorry I mean moving her into the test tube, not out world. Their both about the length of my C. parius queen, 2 cm. Your right I could put some substrate in the out world along with some of my springtails, I have an isopod and springtail culture, I could also add some isopods fore her to hunt.

Good point maybe she is nocturnal, but I wasn't trying to catch her in the out world. I was looking for changes within the out world to suggest she did something.
