Myrmecia Callima (Colony)

Introducing Myrmecia callima – a vibrant bull-ant with a bold orange body, matching orange legs, and a contrasting black head. This arid-adapted species thrives in the heat, remaining highly active throughout the day as it hunts and forages with precision. With sharp vision and relentless energy, Myrmecia callima is a fascinating species built for the harshest environments.

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 setup 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.
