Killer Queen

When I was leaving my house on Friday I saw what I belive to be a Queen Ant. Now, the reason this is important is because it is illegal to sell and to ship queens in the U.S. and A. Therefore, if you want to have a ant colony, you have to find your own queen. I belive I have done this. I put her in a cup with cardboard on top and went to work. when I got home she was gone. But I found her. The next morning I went out and got bought some dirt. I heated it in the oven to get rid of mold and parasites, and well, long story short (too late) the queen is not safely in her ant farm.
