I don't think anyone has raised successfully Stigmatomma or anything in the Amblyoponinae subfamily.

I think your queen might actually be Cryptopone. Because they recently had flights.

Did she look like this? https://www.youtube....h?v=SZCnrXmAXSc or here's some photos: https://www.flickr.c...in/photostream/ (check out the picture in the comments)

They are ponerines, which means they are hard to keep. I suggest you feed them termites.


Species I keep:

 

1 Lasius cf. Neoniger 30 workers

1 Camponotus sp. 15 workers

20 Tetramorium SpE 30 workers

1 T. Sessile 200 workers
