Where did you find this queen, I think it maybe camponotus but I'm not familiar with these ants.

What size is she? Where was she found? I'd say Formica, but I am awful at identifying  |

Definitely Camponotus, but I have no idea which species. She doesn't need any special treatment; just wait for her first workers.

If the queen is stil lalive why would you want to transfer her eggs elsewhere? I say keep them with the queen. |
