I just caught one too! This is my first time doing this, but here is the video I used:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lm2aL4KeGUA&ab_channel=NaturalPower
Why keep ants that aren't found in your yard?
There are so many fascinating ants right where you live!
I disagree with the keeping/buying of ants that aren't in your area.

Ah one thing I didn’t like with this vid is she killed the queen she could have give the queen a worker and some of the larvae :cry:

But did you try this did it work?

I tried it, and the queen hasn't laid any eggs, but the workers seem to be just fine with her.
