Perhaps they were molting?
That doesn't sound plausible to me. I'd suspect an environmental influence.
Oh yeah, i guess hibernation?
Yeah but that doesn't make much sense...

They eclosed about a month before their hibernation iirc. Anyway I ended up releasing that colony back into the wild. It's native and still young, so it shouldn't hurt the native ants.
