Hello, i have a queen who has been identified to be a Pheidole Spp. So i put her away in a test tube. I check on her a few days later and she took off her wings, but she appears to have ripped them into pieces scattered all over the test tube. Is this normal for a queen to do ,since the others i have seem to have just placed them away from where they lay eggs.

Thanks for the help
