Sounds like some sort of Ponerine and, probably semi-claustral. Maybe not a vampire ant species. Ponerines tend to have some pretty wicked jaws, though (in my opinion they always have the longest jaws).

Add some sugar water as well, not just protein. My tetramorium kept on eating her eggs until she had a steady supply of sweets and proteins.

 

Also, if her abdomen is elongated and looks similar to a two scoop ice cream cone (texture wise) the ponerine ID is probably correct.

That's a pretty harsh statement. Especially from someone who has made a few untrue statements on this forum.

I can relate to what happened with you Leo. Once, in Ohio, I dropped a fish bowl full of diving beetles. My parents had to throw them away... Sad...

Leo, when someone (possibly trolling) says this to you, just ignore that if you know they are wrong.
