She moved instantly. She left just one egg which i didn't bother putting in the tt as she already has enough brood

camponotus compressus colony- the shadow warriors.
Pls just let me have a tetramorium colony

I don't think she is Crematogaster.
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.

So is she tetramorium? Was my initial guess correct

Maybe, but better images would help a lot.

I think i might just wait till the nanitics arrive and id her then because i don't think i would get any better picture and i don't want to stress her too much

Sounds good. I think you could assume Tetramorium.

Haven't given an update as nothing interesting is happening. I think there might be some pupa. They don't have cocoons but they all look healthy and fine

Checked on her a little and she has eggs! Gave her a slapped mosquito and will give her a wet cotton day after tomorrow

Here are some crappy photos. From estimate she's around 6-7 mm long (don't even have a scale here bruh)
Almost looks like Crematogaster or mernoplus
I think it is more likely that she is Crematogaster, her gaster looks too big for meranoplus.
Keeping:

• Cataulacus granulatus x2
• Camponotus parius
• Odontomachus sp x4
• Pheidole prava x1
• Pseudoneoponera sp x1

She looks like Pheidole to me, could you get some more angles perhaps? She does not look like any Tetramorium I've ever seen.
