This species of spiny ant is very visually similar to the Polyrhachis Ammon, both with a lovely shiny gold abdomen. The rest of the body is black, and they’re a little bit smaller than Ammon. They are less aggressive too, and are a good fit for an intermediate ant-keeper with experience for caring for semi-Claustral queens.

















Love my purchase. It arrived in just one day and everything was perfect. Thank you so much.
Very good service and products. Will buy again
Great little ants to have
Very happy with my new polyrhachis queen. Very well packaged, and she even had a worker with her. The additional info sheet was much appreciated.
Arrived alive and happy can’t wait to see the colony grow
