These ants get their name from their love of sugary foods. Beautiful large ants, these queens are around 2cm in size and have both minor and major workers so make a very interesting colony to raise. Very relaxed and easy to care for and develop quickly. They look very similar to C. Nigriceps, however, they have an orange stripe on their abdomen.
Packaged really well. Queen is healthy. Recommended
I’ve been purchasing Queens for over 15 years, and nobody beats Antastic.
All Queens come with clear instructions and everything you need to get started.
Delivery was fast, and my Queen arrived in perfect condition.
“It’s a nice touch to send a picture back via email to let them know everything is great.”
I’m very happy with my order! The queen ant and brood arrived alive and healthy, exactly as described. Delivery was on time and communication throughout the process was excellent. Really impressed with the service and care taken will definitely be ordering again.
The ant came fast and well safely packaged
Queen arrived as promised. Great info came with the ant as well re care. We also love the YouTube videos. Great info!
