Hello, a few days ago I made a post about an Ant Queen I found, which had a very unusual color.

Post: https://www.formicul...iped-alien-ant/

 

You guys said that she either ate/drank something red or has some kind of infection. 

She seems to be in great shape for now, but the red color is getting even more distinctly. Especially the legs and eyes are getting more red, which lets me think its not just some red stuff she ate. 

 

I can't see anything weird in her behavior but I'm pretty new to this so idk. I don't really know what to do now... Should I feed her some honey? What do you usually do with an infected ant? Maybe just let her rest and see what happens?

You should make a journal on her, it would be cool to see a worker with red eyes lol
