Rhytidoponera metallica. This is a semi-claustral species so will need feeding. If you want tips on that I believe the youtube account "Ants Invasion" actually has a guide showing these species. You can also use other youtube channels.

no this is definitely not a Rhytidoponera Metallica as I'm keeping one right now and they look very different. Thank you for trying to help though!
