Green Headed ants can sting, however their inability to climb glass or plastic makes them easy to contain. Colonies can grow to a considerable size and reproduction is usually quite fast. Since you wont be touching the ants, their ability to sting shouldn’t be a concern to any beginner that wants a more interesting species.

Absolute would recommend all arrived safe and healthy and packaged great
Great quality and well packaged! A+ customer service. Loved the personalised Ant keeping guide and info sheet. I will definitely be back!
Queen looks healthy, has some workers now.
Despite me accidently leaving the package out for a day they were still alive and healthy when I opened it.
Ants turned up quickly and we’re all packed nicely and all survived the trip, can’t complain about anything
