Adept at consuming specific seeds and aiding in seed dispersal, making them an excellent addition to natural setups. These ants lack the ability to scale glass and plastic surfaces, ensuring most enclosures are escape-proof. These ladies can sting. Additionally, being a gamergate species means that in the event of the queen’s passing, you can sustain your colony by introducing males (drones) from other colonies to mate with the workers.
