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!

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.

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
