Captured here yesterday

Hi, i'm sorry i forgot to update this threat.

I worked hard on this queen but i'm afraid she died, a few days ago.

I had put here in a tube with a few Lasius niger workers and cocoons, but the workers kept attacking the queen so i removed them. Then i put a few Lasius flavus workers and cocoons in there. It seems like she was doing okay, the queen and the workers, they where taking care of here, but a few days later she was dead.

In deed they are pretty hard to keep. I was just lucky to catch her, but no luck making a colony of it. If i find one again, i try harder.
