Hi friends, yesterday I caught a Pseudomyrmex queen and I'd love to read about suggestions of what's the best way to keep her.

 

Last year I tried with other Pseudomyrmex queens but had no luck. I tried with test tubes and some water, tried with some tubing and a small foraging area with no luck, gave them small insects, honey water, but still no luck.

 

I'm adding some pics.

 

Thanks!

Apparently they need very narrow nests, 3mm is good. If that's not possible, get tiny test tubes, but that's about all I know about em.
