The most commonly found ant in Australia, black pavement ants are spread across the entire country. If you see a small black ant around the house, chances are, it’s these guys. These are considered one of the best ant species for beginner ant keepers, as they are small, require minimal care, and the queens are very easy to raise. Their numbers grow quickly, making them ideal for someone who wants a colony quickly and simply.

Super kind staff there. I was served by Jim. My queen ant hasn’t got workers out so I might get some advice, overall service is Ant-mazing 😁😁😁😁😁
Amazing service! It came the next day after being shipped at it was packaged very well. I ordered a queen with brood and it came with 3 workers and a nice brood pile. Thank you Jim!
Great
Very prompt service and the ant came in great shape through the post. Antastic even held the ant for me until Christmas so I wouldn’t have to take care of it for my 11 year old son. He loves his ant!
Beautiful ants
