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.

Awesome healthy
so small yet so quick for such tiny ants
Fantastic, great customer service. Quick so answer any of my questions. My ants arrived safe and fast in a clean test tube. As a bonus all larvae looked well fed. Very satisfied.
