Yes, all 20ish of my Crematogaster cerasi haven't laid eggs, but ripped of their wings, and I read somewhere about this. I also found 2 in a dead log months after their flight with no wings or eggs, preparing for hibernation. I've noticed my Myrmica sp. and Lasius neoniger are acting the same way.


Hit "Like This" if it helped.

The myrmica I've gotten have big larvae and my Crematogaster cerasi is in hibernation with no eggs
