The link worked. I would suggest naming them 'The Golden Carpenters'. Here is a guide I made for posting images: https://forum.AntsCanada.com/viewtopic.php?p=99479#p99479
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.

Your brood is growing? Lucky! My colony has little to no hope left and I'm waiting for them to die. I am sustaining them for as long as I can.
I have found more queens!
-Polyrhachis laevissima (left only queen)
-Pheidole parva (TOO MUCH)
-Iridomyrmex Anceps
-Polyrhachis dives
Hope to catch camponotus soon...

She might have eaten it. Have you been disturbing her a lot?
