Sadly she has died. I don't know if she wasnt fertile or if it was something I did. She had water and I gave her a drop of honey and a PC of meal worm that she ate most off. If I find another space raider special I'm not going to try to raise one unless I have had months of studying and everything I need for sure.
I know someone made a post asking for preserved specimens I will try to find the poster of it and see if he would like her for there collection.


Yes I guarantee Ferox_Formicae will love to have her.

you know she needed host workers and can't survive without them right? Also, polyergus are unable to eat without assistance from slaves according to my knowledge.
