(Giant Red Bull Ant) Myrmecia Gulosa (First generation)

A notoriously aggressive bull-ant, Myrmecia Gulosa are formidable and aggressive hunters with keen vision. these are hands down my favourite species of bull-ant, with a bright red body, blackened at the tip of the gaster, and those yellow mandibles. These are stunning species.

These ants are only for the most experienced keepers as they are incredibly fast and have a powerful sting that can last for days.
during the founding stages, keepers have more success with these ants when kept in tubs and tubes set up with weekly protein and honey offerings. These ants are semi-claustral and can have a very long gestation period, with the founding stage being particularly difficult.
