Paratrechina longicornis are not supercolonial to my knowledge, so it may turn out badly. However, introducing queens can work, as antscanada demonstrated back when he was actually a good youtuber.

Okay I’ll just introduce three of my queens to the colony with over 200 workers. Not much is lost with colony with 5 workers.
