Nylanderia Rosae Queen – Black Crazy Ant
Both the workers and the queen of this species are very visually similar to black pavement ants, but these ones are much more accepting of messy living conditions. They grow very quickly, and get the name “crazy ant” from their fast movements.

Diet
Queens do not require feeding until workers arrive. When workers arrive, feed sugars and protein regularly.
Erica arrived safe and happy and 3 of her workers had hatched in transit :)

Very active and healthy colony on arrival with plenty of brood. Queen looked great and the workers settled in quickly. Awesome species to watch because they’re constantly moving and exploring. Packaging was excellent too.
