I caught this queen on the 16th of July. Right away I knew what species she was by her mandibles. I doubt this queen will make it I'm still making a journal for her.

This species is extremely unusual, I did not even know they existed in Illinois until I found this queen.

Semi Claustral. But it's odd that you found this queen,since it's endemic to Madagascar and is only found there. If it is really what yu think it is, you might want to report it.

Great find! This is not Adetomyrma but a Stigmatomma sp.

 I don't know of anyone that has ever raised a colony of the Amblyoponinae subfamily.

Thank you, I changed the title
