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.

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
Fast shipping. Ants arrived with seemingly very little stress. Included care sheet was accurate and a nice touch. Ordered a colony with 5-7 workers and received the full 7 with a good batch of brood as well.
Very happy with our purchase
Very happy thankyou
