If her gaster is broken, she is probably unable to lay eggs.

Bad news boys. Earwig killed the other queen ant. Only one left. Finnally killed that damn earwig. And her highness remains. I begin to accept my ants fate. This was a failure as all of my antkeeping tries. I guess its not my thing. I keep messing it up. I'm sorry. I'm sad

I mean no offense by this, but I think you need to reconsider this hobby or any hobbies related to keeping animals. At least take some time off to do some research.

I hate to say this but I think you should start with easier ants and do some research. Take a look at Ants Canada videos to guide you through the basics. Try and catch easy ants to keep which would be camponotus festinatus, monomorium minimum, or Pheidole Hyatti. I started out ant keeping with Pheidole hyatti and they're great to keep. I hope this helps you with your ants and good luck! There are links down below in my message to things I highly recommend you watch, along with AntMaps which can help you find species ranges around the world for ants!

I don’t think many species are easier to get started than RIFAs. That’s not the problem here.

you really have got to do some research on how to keep ants.
