A close up of the colony in the test tube set up connected to the nest. I am try to lure them into the nest by covering it to block out the light, any better suggesting? Attachments:

Colony number 2, keeping the nest dark with a piece of leather. note that the test tube set up that housed the queen and it subject was place near the lap top charger, I hope the heat generated from the charger encourage the queen to move into the nest. Attachments:

I think Quah will give a more definite ID for your queens as he lives in Malaysia, although the first one does look a lot like a Solenopsis species; but I am by no means certain of this Love your home made cement nests by the way, the design may be simple, yet the end result makes a sturdy home for your ants to live in
