Need advice with the health of my queen.
So I found this one pavement ant queen writhing around on the ground, as it turns out it only had its front pair of legs, in no way did it seem to hurt the ant, the ant managed to move around with some trouble but it seemed to know what to do, it is acting fine now but I was wondering if it would be able to take care of a colony even though it is disabled, thanks.

Hi,
I have kept a lasius queen who had just 3 legs and she did a perfect job at founding a colony!
You are probably ok,
Hope this helped

Thanks!! Yeah she is acting like she is fertile and was wingless when I found her, it looks like she was born with two legs because she knows how to get around pretty well! I can see tiny little bitty leg stubs. Hopefully she founds well, fingers crossed.

Checked on her about 1.5 weeks from capture and she happily has 25+ eggs in a pile, she is bloated too! It just makes me laugh to watch her get stuff done.
