Queen Ant Indentification

[Aquaexploder]

You have a Colobopsis leonardi queen, the workers are known to be 'exploding ants'. They are quite hard to keep in captivity, I failed twice already.

But she did lay eggs and shed her wings. Is she fully claustral?

Yes, fully claustral.

She is semi-claustral, feed her some sugar water or honey once every 3-7 days, she will need protein when she has larvae. Also eggs can take a long time to hatch.

Yes, fully claustral.

Have you tried keeping them?

[Aquaexploder]

I have not, from what I was able to find online though all referred to them as claustral. Guess there wrong though, which is very possible.

It may actually be possible to raise them fully-claustrally but the chances of success are very low, even if you feed them.
