I found a colony of C. Herc. with both male and female alates. If I were to find another colony and capture several male and female alates from each, would it work to breed them? I'm thinking of building a screened in cage and keeping it outside with them inside of it. This would allow them to be affected by the same environmental triggers that they would experience in the wild.
