Hi, I am new to ant keeping.
I am from Malaysia.
I just caught this new queen at my window today.
The size is 8-9mm.

Now I keep her in test tube setup is it correct?
Is she fully claustral?

Thanks in advance.

Hello and I'm also from Malaysia :) .

Your queen could be Crematogaster in the borneensis group.

probably unless the queen failed... though if it had he probably would've informed us
