Currently kept ant species, favorites have a star in front of their names (NOT in alphabetical order, also may be outdated sometimes): ★ Camponotus irritans inferior, ★ Ooceraea biroi, Pheidole parva, ★ Nylanderia sp., ★ Paraparatrechina tapinomoides, Platythyrea sp., Anochetus sp., Colobopsis sp. (cylindrica group), ★ Crematogaster ferrarii, Polyrhachis (Myrma) cf. pruinosa, Polyrhachis (Cyrtomyrma) laevissima, Tapinoma sp. (formerly Zatapinoma)
Death count: Probably over a hundred individual queens and colonies by now. I cannot recall whatsoever.

She is semi claustral btw and I've heard the stings hurt like hell. You will need to feed her cricket legs or any small feeder insects and also honey. That should keep her alive.

They also need an extremely narrow nesting space. You could put straws in the test tube with one end against the wet cotton. Make sure the straws are not as long as the area between the wet cotton and the one blocking the entrance. That way the remainder of the space could be used as a sort of foraging area. Just an idea I came up with. It might not work.

You could also just push the cotton down further but make sure that the cotton is not tightly packed so that she can still breathe

That's a great idea! I'm going to get those really thin coffee stirrers and try that. Thanks!
