Hi, I also caught 8 temnothorax queens along with my 2 pheidole queens. I think they are all temnothorax curvispinosus, but some are very dark while the others are very orange (probably just color variation). I’ve heard before that putting them all in the same test tube increases chances of success. Is this true?

If they are Temnothorax curvispinosus, they're polygynous, so yes.
