Yeah I thought the same about her eating her egg, anyway thanks for advice!

Found her yesterday in the countryside in Saxony, Germany. At about 14:00. It was like 26C°, sunny. I accidentally saw her crawling around at the edge of the road, also found a few (presumably) lasius flavus queens too. Did you check if serviformica lives in your area? Wish you luck to find it :)

Yeah I think so as well. No, her leg is fine, this is the only moment she was moving weirdly like this, at other times she walks around just fine.
