Need help with identifying my queen ant
Hi, I am new to the ant keeping hobby and this queen is the only queen which lasted this long. Please tell me what species it is and if it is claustral or semi-claustral. Below is a picture of her. Thank you!

The image doesn't work. Try using imgur or google photos and share the photo as a link here
Ants I have-
camponotus compressus colony- the shadow warriors.
Pls just let me have a tetramorium colony

Re: Need help with identifying my queen ant
Also here is more information:
The queen in the test tube usually doesn’t move but she sometimes comes into the outworld like in the picture.
As a safety measure I put some sugar water in her outworld in the blue container as shown in the picture just in case she is semi-claustral. She seems to drink it but I am not sure (the sugar water is made of bottled water by the way).
I caught her almost a month ago on my balcony.
Sorry as I accidentally posted two questions on this same topic the information will also be there on the other post.
Thank you.

Sorry about the many replies but my queen is around an inch and a half long.

Re: Need help with identifying my queen ant
She is a camponotus queen and is fully claustral. Keep her in a test tube setup without any outworld attached and check on her once a week
