Funnel Ants are a species of ants that are characterised by their large funnel-shaped nest entrances, which give them their common name. The workers are easily recognisable by their long legs, although they are not particularly fast-moving. The queens of this species are also known for being relaxed and easy to care for, making them a great option for anyone looking to raise a colony.

Our queen funnel ant arrived in perfect condition with very healthy looking brood and workers, she even came with a name, Buri, which I thought was pretty cute! Express delivery arrived day after postage too which was great 🙂
Arrived healthy with 1 extra work than promised.
Arrived quickly in great packaging with the 21+ ants. Will order again 🙂
