Found a ant queen today(or so I think I have) and it seems she was being attacked by some black ants. When I approached her, te other ants scattered. I put her in a vial and I noticed she had a dead ant atttatched to her. She seems to really be annoyed by it, and can't seem to get it off. Should I be doing something?
Also her leg seems to be broken, should I release her back into the wild?

If you look towards the bottom you can see the black ant attached to her.

Edit! The queen has not broken her leg, the ant is attached to the leg. Making it seem like it was broken.

sorry, but I'm pretty sure this is not a queen.
Proverbs 6:6-8

Go to the ant, you sluggard;
consider its ways and be wise!
It has no commander,
no overseer or ruler,
yet it stores its provisions in summer
and gathers its food at harvest.

In a way that's a relief. I wasn't planning on keeping a fire ant colony. Thanks!
