You can also try sugar water. They are very picky eaters. It's also important to note that not all species of Colobopsis are semi cluastral.
Well, I tried but she did not accept. She checks, smells, and ignores. And I hope my queen ant is fully calustral.

Maybe she wants solids? Maybe fruit?
When you accidentally reply to yourself…

Have a question? Does ethylene gas poisonous to ants because we have apples and apples produce ethylene gas.

I fed my ants apple before, the ethylene doesn't seem to bother them. In fact, most fruits produce ethylene which what makes them ripen and ants in the wild are supposed to eat the ripe fruit so I'm quite sure that it won't kill your ants, but if you're cautious you can feed her in a well ventilated test tube or outworld.
