Description

Description:

Probably the easiest Monomorium available for purchase, and one of the simpler invasive and synanthropic species. They are large, not good at escaping, have rapid growth, frequent in-nest mating flights, prefer dry environments, and adapt easily. They are active around the clock and aggressive towards other ants.

In nature, they nest in the ground, but they also thrive in human settlements.

They can deliver a relatively strong sting and are resistant to crushing.

Bought a single queen with 21 - 40 workers that all came really healthy. There were also way more workers then specified. Really happy with both service and quality of products. 10/10 would recommend.
