So my cat was on my ant drawer messing around and I was like CRAP! I checked on my founding queens and they were fine except for my Lasius Neoniger queen... her huge brood pile was scattered everywhere, and she was not hurt, phew! But I noticed she had REALLY fast movement almost like muscle spasms on her antennae. I found out she had larvae but she is no longer taking care of her eggs or larvae, I will check on her in a couple of days, but I don’t know what to do besides leave her alone... please help

Just watch over her. She should gather her eggs and brood into piles again. The antennae movements could have just been her in a "dazed" like state maybe. Hope she recovers for you friend.

Good news, she has piled up the eggs and larvae in separate piles, the eggs are on the more dry part of the test tube, and the larvae are IN the cottonball.
