There is only one queen to this colony so I do not know why there behavior is like this. I put a injured mealworm in and during the ants attack on the mealworm they started fighting each other while they tried to drag it into the nest any ideas why. I couldn’t see them doing this in the wild or they wouldn’t be around still. https://share.icloud.com/photos/0bw2TUC1ylpJ3IFtWTIKrVvbg

Cant see photos but when my camponotus colony was young, the workers would also fight. I still don't know why but after a few weeks they stopped. They never really killed each other but did spray formic acid.
