Team I need a little help with this one. I caught her July 4th from under a rock with dense dirt underneath. On a hiking trail just north of Honolulu Hawaii USA. She is about 6-8 mm with a light brown thorax and a darker brown abdomen. There are two darker stripes on her thorax. I could not get a good enough picture to tell segments of antennae.

Anoplolepis gracilipes

Proverbs 6:6-8 New International Version (NIV)

6 Go to the ant, you sluggard;
    consider its ways and be wise!
7 It has no commander,
    no overseer or ruler,
8 yet it stores its provisions in summer
    and gathers its food at harvest.

So my YCA colony is doing well they are drinking honey water and you can see the workers that are full of water brining it back to the others. Things seems to be going well but they have not been seen trying to eat protein. I have tried cockroaches and small soft beetle that I found outside. No real interest in either? Is there something else I could try?

TIA
