Injured queen ant died
I had a polyrachis rastellata queen ant with an antennae and a part of her leg lost,but as I have seen injured queen ants founding colonies,I thought it was alright.About 1 month later,I checked up on her and she was dead.one leg was stuck to the cotton.As I was taking her out,without tugging,that leg fell out!

Re: Injured queen ant died
I'm sorry to read this. Have you caught another queen?
Doing some proper research is the best way to start an antcolony.
