SO I caught a species of Leptothorax which I am having problems identifying cuz the only taxon from my state(Leptothorax Canadensis) is not in use and is a junior synonym of Leptothorax Muscorum, which is a europe native, but the junior synonym here is usually black to my knowledge but matches the discription of the population in europe and the taxon is confusing, some say Canadensis is in use and others don't. But aside from that is she semi-claustral? or any special requirements? I gave her a special protein mix I made today with honey and mealworm juices, she is in a plastic tube and she seems to be a lil skeptic of plastic, She is not a climber... the taxon on this species is WACK any help would be appreciated
