Long story short; another member was nice enough to give me a P. Imparis alate back in August. He collected her this Spring with a bunch of others here in Mass. He had her in with two other queens and a small brood, but she apparently really was described as "shy", and didn't want to move with the rest of them to their new enclosure back in the July time frame. She had a small clutch of eggs when he gave her to me. However with the stress of the move and such to my house, she ended up eating the small clutch. I've had her in a box now all by herself for awhile away from anything, and check on her every 1-2 weeks. She's alive but no interest in protein or sugar water. Also don't see any signs of egg laying. Not sure if she's infertile or considering going dormant? Thoughts? Thanks!
EDIT: Also still has her wings, so not sure if that's indicative as well of infertility with this species.
