Strobe ants get their name from their unique behaviour of making fast, jolting movements when disturbed, making it appear as if they are rapidly flashing. Both the queen and the workers have a beautiful orange and black colour pattern and massive eyes, making them fantastic to observe throughout the day. Interestingly, they also have the ability to see backwards.

I ordered this queen as part of a promotional offer and got it for free. The queen arrived healthy and with, about four workers. Over the past three months I have enjoyed watching these timid little soldiers, feed, forage and grow. I was also quite impressed with the size of the queen.
Healthy queen and brood – very happy!
Quick postage, ants look well fed and healthy. Thank you!
Perfect just what I wanted
Very good service and products. Will buy again
