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.
One of the many bull ant variants found across Australia, When kept in captivity, it is important to provide a naturalistic set-up. They require a form of substrate — typically red sand or dirt — in order for their larva to weave their cocoons, and we recommend they are provided with a lot of space to forage and a diverse diet. Raising a colony is a very long process that requires a great deal of care. These ants have a fierce sting and are very territorial, fiercely defending their nest and chasing intruders for a considerable distance.
WARNING: These ants are capable of stinging humans. Read the warning below before purchasing.
