I found a Formica aserva Queen not sure how to raise a parasitic species. Can I raise here like others or do I need a host colony. This is the first Queen I have found should I just let her go?
Camponotus novaeboracensis 14 workers.
Queen with brood.
Queen with no brood.

Parasitic ants are really hard to keep i would suggest releasing it.
My current colonies:
-Miniature Military(formica neogagates)
-Black Hearts(crematogaster cerasi)
In search of new camponotus colony
[Have a look at antmaps.org]
