she landed on my arm with a male it was the most craziest thing i ever seen do you think she is pregnant or dose it take longer ? as you might can see i put her in a test tube with water put her in my closet in a black pillow case is this good for her right ?

It did not work, you could try imgur. She could be fertile, it just depends on if she had already mated with other males.

hope that works and a queen ant have to mate with more then one male ? so i hope she did then and if the picture works should i put food in the test tube ? also is the only way to know if she is ferfile is to wait for 7 days to see if she lays eggs close to each other and if she seems to care for them ? or is there a different way to tell

I don't know what she is but it worked. Yes, queens normally mate with more than one male. No, you don't need to feed her.

ok ill see if i can ask someone else to see if they know on here and i got the springtales im going to leave them in there for about 1 hr then ill put water in there and get about 25 of them in with the ants and ok i was thinking so to not put food in there with the new queen and once the eggs hatch if the new queen lays eggs if they hatch should i put springtales in the test tube ?
