These gorgeous Pheidole ants feature incredible majors with huge heads, giving them their iconic name of the big-headed ants. They’re a great beginner ant since they’re small, require minimal care, and the queens are very easy to raise. Their numbers grow very quickly, and they usually have majors within the first few months of having workers.






















G’day, happy review – the phildole queen ant arrived alive and kicking! 🐜✨ She’s got heaps of brood with her, and a whole bunch of small first-seasoned workers buzzing around already. Absolutely stoked to see the colony thriving from the get-go! Can’t wait to watch them grow and settle in. Super excited!
Cheers! 🙌🌿
