Try just giving cricket body parts because it is probably intimidated by the whole cricket . Also might want to give it something sweet .

If she rejects it, then take it out and try tomorrow until she accepts. if she goes a week without eating, give her some honey. at least that's what I've heard you're supposed to do.

I think you should just give a cricket leg. It's just a queen by herself, she doesn't need a full cricket anyway. Even a leg is probably too big. I would imagine she might need something sweet (honey or sugar water) more than protein though, but not sure. If you do give her honey, make sure you give a tiny drop, because she could drown in it otherwise.

Trap jaw ants are picky eaters don't offer whole insects but only small bits and pieces I've also heard that they readily accept meal worms
Let us remember that even though ants are wonderful creatures, even more magnificent is their creator
