I am starting this topic to help the people who have recently caught a Pseudomyrmex queen or obtained a colony. since the care is similar to other ants that are arboreal, you can ask a question about tree-dwelling ants also. Also feel free to ask about housing different Pseudomyrmex ants.

I think I found a Pseudomyrmex pallidus queen...

She is long and skinny, light orange with long oval eyes.

I have her for 3 days now. She still has wings (will she lose them?).  How do you know if she is fertilized?

She has taken honey, sugar water and apple sauce. She is very active during the day.

Right now she's in a tall shot glass with water in bottom and cotton over that, then her living area.

I have a few hollow twigs that she stays in during the night and sometimes during the day.

Any tips would be welcome and I'd be grateful.
