So I caught a queen ant a few weeks ago. I checked in on her this morning and I found mold growing in her test tube. So I looked up a video on how to move her out of there and into a new test tube. I did what the video instructed. I made a new test tube setup, connected the two with scotch tape leaving a little space for air to get in, and used tinfoil to cover the new test tube. Now I’ve been waiting for her to move all day and she hasn’t. The video said it would take 5 minutes to 5 days for the queen to move in so I’m not to worried yet. I just wanted to make sure I did everything ok and not made any mistakes.
As for species identification, I believe I have a tetramorium immigrans queen but I’m not to sure since I’m not to good at identifying species. I attached some pictures. Although I’m not to sure if I did it right since I’m new to the ant forums.
