Description
Description:
In Poland, there are many species from the genus Myrmica, and most breeders/sellers don't usually identify them accurately. Random species are often sold as Myrmica rubra. Myrmica ants are generally moisture-loving, highly polygynous (with even hundreds of queens), tend to cultivate aphids, lead a nomadic lifestyle (often changing nests), and have a strong sting. They are super aggressive. In Poland, they can be found everywhere - under stones, debris, logs, in wood, in old bottles, and sometimes I have even seen colonies living directly on the ground under a larger, living leaf, such as a common plantain.
