Myrmecia Forceps(Queen only)

Introducing Myrmecia forceps – a truly unique bull-ant, distinguished by its long, rounded mandibles and remarkable Müllerian mimicry. This species cleverly imitates the dominant Myrmecia in its environment, blending in while maintaining its own distinct traits. With sharp vision and an adaptive nature, Myrmecia forceps is as fascinating as it is fierce.

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.
