The only way someone could acquire a Messor queen in Texas is buying them from Europe, so that's why I was a little worried. Also, I don't know if Messor and Pogonomyrmex are even closely related.

Are messor queens fully or semi claustral? If it's the latter, you might want to give them some seeds and sugars. The queens won't have the reserves a fully claustral queen has and thus they will want to forage for food...
