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.

Beautiful healthy queen and arrived with heaps of brood and workers. Packaging was great and everything arrived safely. Very active colony already and the queen looks amazing in person. Really happy with the purchase.
Ordered queen with brood, but came with some worker ants already, what a bonus!
Arrived fertile, alive and ready with brood
They are little escape artists! Good luck!
Arrived in perfect condition and ahead of time for Christmas
