Need some advice

I know before you yell at me I made sure i did everything correct so lets get that out of the way. Secondly, I caught a wild Phiedole colony from my backyard they are in a container with dirt right now... The queen is walking around the top with the workers and i also keep seeing workers walking around with brood. So will they dig tunnels over night and arrange themselves or is there more i have to do? Feedback would be much appreciated

They will most probably dig. I would try to get them into formicarium.
