These ants are incredible to observe, with their yellow and black colours contrasting beautifully. This species is relatively uncommon, with known records restricted to three widely separated areas, one in central New South Wales and the other two in the southern and northern Queensland. They’re quite easy-going and a very relaxed species.
Excellent pre/post sales support. Queen arrived alive and healthy with lot of brood. Definitely my go to store from now on.
Ants were very well when arrived
