My Camponotus Ligniperda worker is dying!

I received a queen Camponotus Ligniperda yesterday and they all seemed healthy but today one of the workers is curled up and twitching which is a sign that she is dying. I don’t know if it is old age or somthing else in the test tube. Idk if this is related but the blobs of liquid I am o pretty sure are the sugar snaps I fed them they are regurgitating a little bit in the walls idk if this is to preserve it or somthing else.. like I said I am pretty sure it’s not water but you never know it might…. I don’t want one of my workers to die as they only have 3 but if it is old age t(i Hope it is) then it is sad but won’t affect the other ants if it is not I have no idea what to do…. Any suggestions.?

Now a second worker has started twitching but she is still moving about. Maybe it’s stress but idk the other worker isn’t any better might die any minute :o :(
