Yesterday I caught a Polyrhachis queen in my kitchen (yes, really) and then I test tubed her up and I also heard that they are semi-claustral so what should I feed her?

Give her some protein (insects) and sweets (honey or sugar water)

Definitely some fruit and remember to feed small insects. May I ask what species?

Young ant keeper with a decent amount of knowledge on local ant species.
YouTube: https://m.youtube.co...uKsahGliSH7EqOQ (It's pretty dead. Might upload again soon, don't expect my voice to sound the same though.)
Currently kept ant species, favorites have a star in front of their names (NOT in alphabetical order, also may be outdated sometimes): ★ Camponotus irritans inferior, ★ Ooceraea biroi, Pheidole parva, ★ Nylanderia sp., ★ Paraparatrechina tapinomoides, Platythyrea sp., Anochetus sp., Colobopsis sp. (cylindrica group), ★ Crematogaster ferrarii, Polyrhachis (Myrma) cf. pruinosa, Polyrhachis (Cyrtomyrma) laevissima, Tapinoma sp. (formerly Zatapinoma)
Death count: Probably over a hundred individual queens and colonies by now. I cannot recall whatsoever.

I'm not actually sure what species of Polyrhachis she is, but my guess is Polyrhachis beccarii or dives
