These ants get their name from their love of sugary foods. Make sure they have a regular supply of honey or sugar water to go along with their protein. They have both minor and major casts. These sugar ants have an attractive striped gastor and are quite relaxed, however they can bite if they feel threatened. Since this species is more active at night (and mornings and evenings), they are placid and easy to care for, making a great colony for anyone to raise.

Fast fantastic service, was so happy when my ants arrived, in good health and with eggs.
Excellent to deal with. Unfortunately my order was crushed in the mail and the ant was dead. However a quick email with some pics and Jim sent me a replacement. My new ant arived today safe and sound with bonus workers and eggs. Very good to deal with and i highly recommend Antastic
