I collected 6 queens of whatever species this is, this one in the picture acts very sluggish and seems it might be injured? I don't see anything wrong with her but I'm worried I hurt her somehow. She's in a test tube with water now so hoping she was just dehydrated and will perk up.
Edit:
New pictures that has workers. Also caught some 05-26-2020 around the same time.
