So, I made the mistake of moving my Tetramorium immigrans colony into a AC ant tower with only 12 workers. I think I need to move them back into a test tube, do you guys have any suggestions about how to get them to move?
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.

Heat the test tube, T immigrans love heat from what I have heard

Ok, I will also try putting a light where the red light is supposed to be, in my experience, they hate light.
