OMG! Just caught a strumigenys queen just under a brick in my backyard. I have absolutely no experience with the species. What care do I give them? Thanks in advance

ARE YOU SERIOUS??? Nice catch!!! Similar setup to Hypoponera, basically a petri dish with damp soil. They'll eat springtails and other tiny insects, like fruit flies.

Well, she's dead. She was injured after capture, so it must've killed her
