Do not put her in that big nest. She should start in a test tube.

Capitalize genus name and lowercase species name: Solenopsis xyloni.

I'm glad I found you guys it's always nice to have help unless I'm specifically getting a species I don't know too much about others and I don't actively seek out wild queens I found her on a hike thank you guys so much
