Colobopsis vitrea has light colored queens but black workers. The workers of Carebara lignata are tiny and yellow; you probably wouldn't even recognize them as the same genus.


Currently keeping:

 

Tetramorium immigrans, Pogonomyrmex occidentalis

Myrmica punctiventris, Formica subsericea

Formica pallidefulva, Aphaeogaster cf. rudis

Camponotus pennsylvanicus

Camponotus nearcticus

Crematogaster cerasi

Temnothorax ambiguus

Prenolepis imparis

I don’t know much about Carebara, but most queens close up their chambers after they are dug. Does the soil have a decent clay content? Is it damp? It seems like the chamber she dug was closed off by her. Have pictures?

Argentine ants are mean.

don't worry about her. Most carebara actually do better in containers with soil during the founding stage. Just leave her be and eventually you will see small workers.
