I posted a few days ago about my pogonomyrmex ants not growing and dying. Today I found the queen dead. Yeah I don’t know what it was. Some people said it might have been bad genetics because THA brood boosted them. Or something like a fungus.

If you haven't disposed of the corpse ( :*() put it to the side and keep an eye on it over the next few days. If you notice any kind of growth, could be a fungal infection of some sort.
