I found this queen in may and she layed eggs about 2 weeks later I’ve had another test tube connect to this moldy one I’m trying to use the light to make her want to switch she has no workers but is alive I’m used to camponotus ants but I’m not the best ant keeper I just want to know if I should make any changes or buy something to help with this move

I’m not sure what this species is I usually find carpenter ants and she flew on my shoulder and took of her wings while I was playing basketball this day 2 of having her idk if it’s because of the sponge instead of cotton she’s been in dark until now. when I first did a test tube I used cotton and she got stuck on it. What should I do or do I just leave her
