HELP!
So, I was just going about my day, and I saw what looks like a queen ant on my desk, just on my notebook. Bam. Just like that. I got it in a test tube with a bit of moist cotton at the end, and I tried to feed it some honey, but I think she got her wings stuck in them. Is there any way I can help her get free? What should I do? I don't have any sort of experience with this stuff, so I really need help. I'm not sure if there's something I can do at this point, I think I probably made some huge mistake. Can anyone help? Thanks so much!
Re: HELP!
Okay, so, update. I think I finally got her free, she's walking around now and her wings are still sticky but she appears to be walking around regularly. Where do I go from here? I put her in a darker place, hopefully she'll be better by the morning

Re: HELP!
You don't need to worry about her that much. She will probably shed her wings and be fine. Just put her in a dark place and don't disturb her. Also make sure that the cotton is moist so she can drink water
Ants I have-
camponotus compressus colony- the shadow warriors.
Pls just let me have a tetramorium colony

True, I had queens who almost drowned, and they drank off their wings after being freedAntloverhuman wrote: ↑Wed May 25, 2022 1:33 amYou don't need to worry about her that much.

Re: HELP!
When i had a colony of black crazy ants living under my kitchen sink, i would frequently "drown" the foraging ants for fun, and the ants would literally drink all the water and walk away screaming (don't ask why i drowned ants that are native)SolenopsisKeeper wrote: ↑Wed May 25, 2022 9:43 am
