Formica Rufa Colony Foundation

[SomeAntKeeper]

Hey, for all the european ant keepers out there, I was wondering if I can introduce any species of Serviformica worker hosts (f. Fusca, f. Cunicularia, f. Rufibarbis) to my Formica Rufa queen that I caught today? I only have f. Rufibarbis and f. Cunicularia colonies around my house, no f. Fusca, and I only read about Fusca workers being introduced to parisitic formica species. I want to know if any of f. Fusca, f. Rufibarbis or f. Cunicularia are ok, or one species of raptiformica affects a specific type of serviformica

You should probably put them both in the fridge while in introduction to avoid hostility.
