Oh yeah, I've already concluded that it's A. lamellidens.

I recently found out that A. Lamellidens have their nuptial flight in early summer, so after some research, I found that it was A. Fulva and you were right all along.

Feed her once a week with very little amounts of food (sugars one week and protein the other week) and don't check on her other than the feeding days
Ants I have-
camponotus compressus colony- the shadow warriors.
Pls just let me have a tetramorium colony
