Thanks for your replys,
I keep ants as a hobby but unfortunatly my queen has died
thus I need a new one pls. They are very hard to get in England.
Pheidologeton is distributed throughout S. E. Asia and has been recorded in Hawaii. It is most common in Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Indonesia. Colonies are very large and well protected furthermore, there is only one queen, making it difficult to obtain a colony. However, during nuptial flights, the queens are attracted to shiny and bright surfaces. They usually fly into houses and mate on the ground. This will give you a good chance to catch them.
The ants carry out nuptial flight once every two or three months unless you want to brave digging for a queen

Ps they are abundant in the Bukit Timah forest region if anyone is near there
I could`nt work out how to post the pictures but there are some good ones on this page: (they are about 3cm long without wings)

how to catch shd be the question to ask.

Indeed to post them you will need a plastic test tube or similar container,
fill between 1/8 and 1/4 with water then,
push a small amount of cotton wool down the tube to bung in the water,
add ants then bung up the open end with more cotton wool.
also a crushed up peanut for food is good
Has anyone out there seen these ants in Singapore? -
how much u willing to offer?
-
the main problem is . we dont usually c ant queens as we'r living in [ most of us ] the government flats. and the ant's nest n etc are always located beyond and behind the cement walls. so its pretty hard to get to c an ant queen flying around n etc.
