Hi,
I've already gone to Reddit for this, but I can't seem to get an answer to what's happening, cause it kinda scares me.
I've had my Myrmica Rubra colony for a while now, everything has gone fine until I spotted two ants randomly standing there, one keeping the other from moving which causes that ant to shake uncontrollably. When I poke the ants, the one ant holding the other runs off while keeping it in its mouth.
No, they're not transferring food from one another; one ant is just holding the other still for what seems to be no reason, causing the other ant to shake weirdly.
Does anyone know what this means?
Myrmica Rubra ants are acting weird.

Mine do the same thing one ant grabs another and carries him around ! They also do it with dead ants too perhaps the ant is sick or near death or just wanna hug
