Found several queens the last couple days (thanks to some recent rain) and ID'ing them. One I am pretty sure is a Crematogaster of some sort. Anyways, is there care the same as most ants? Do they like it moist or dry usually? Read they live in trees? Read the care sheet. I only found the one and really want to make sure she has the best chances.

How on earth did you end up posting this 5 times?

Just use a regular test tube setup, it should be fine for her.

Did not mean to post multiple identical posts..... Computer issue. How do I delete the extras?

I managed to mess up google earth once for a couple years once just by moving the map on my PC once. I thought it was a quirk on just my computer but when I looked on other computers it showed the same thing. Somehow I accidentally moved the town name about 30 miles away.... Technology and I don't get along.....

Try to click the button only once when posting.

Yeah I figured that out... On my end it refused to do anything to show it posted and I thought my computer was freezing. So is it possible to get rid of the extras? Don't want to be spamming everyone.

No, a forum moderator needs to remove them. No worries though, just let your computer spaz out for a bit before clicking more, haha.

Yeah don't worry guys, I'll just take care of everything myself after it sits here for the entire day...

Keep Crematogaster queens like Pheidole/Ochetellus/Solenopsis/Tetramorium/Lasius queens: Put them in a standard ant tube (one per queen) with a tiny drop of honey. When workers come, feed them small dead/live termites (if you have a captive termite colony, feed the ants termite hatchlings) or pinhead crickets.
