Hello Hawkeye,
Thanks for the reply. I have manged to get home and upload better quality pictures. ( I don't have a very good zoom camera - used my phone as best as i could
) )
As i am typing on my PC now it's easier to describe a bit the area where i caught them as well.
Location: Valea Mare Pravat, Romania ( https://goo.gl/maps/rvhphwsx1R6qYQt8A )
Date: 06/06/2020 around 14:00 PM
Weather: 2 days after rainy some rainy days, on a full sunny day
Specific Location: The big ones i caught on a dry hill, around a lot of big black ants with red thoraxes (i think). The small one i caught in my garden, close to a lot of trees, in shade, climbing an apple tree.
Behaviour: The big one is very very lazy! I mean, i barely managed to get her into a test tube. The winged one is super agile and active, trying to get the cotton out of the test tube. The 2 small ones are agile and active. I hope the winged one managed to mate and can lay eggs.
I photographed all of them close to a meter so maybe it can help.
For all of them i would love some tips and tricks. Do i need to feed them now or leave them untouched for several weeks? What type of formicarium should i build them? What kind of nutrition do they need? Same as my other 3 Lasius Niger colonies, honey and protein?
Here are the photoes:
