Colony 15+ Myrmecia Croslandi (Jack Jumper Bull Ant)
WARNING: These ants are capable of stinging humans. If anyone who will be in the proximity of this ant is allergic to insect bites/stings (including but not limited to the purchaser), or is known to experience adverse reactions from previous insect bites/stings, do not purchase this ant. Ant stings can cause severe and sometimes fatal allergic reactions (e.g. anaphylaxis). If you are stung, seek immediate medical attention. Before purchasing, consult a medical professional and conduct independent research to determine if this ant is safe for those in proximity.
This unique species is related to the more commonly found jack-jumper species Myrmecia Pilosula. Myrmecia Croslandi aren't quite as large, with Croslandi workers measuring just a centimetre! This healthy colony with 15-20 workers comes in two test tubes, so we recommend that you order a medium nest alongside it, as well as an outworld. Like all bull ants, these guys pack a painful sting, so beware!
WARNING: These ants are capable of stinging humans. Read the warning below before purchasing.
