myrmecia mandibularis(Queen only)

Introducing Myrmecia mandibularis – a sleek black bull-ant with a deep orange gaster and smooth, toothless mandibles. Despite their lack of serration, these powerful jaws are highly effective, allowing for precise control while foraging and hunting. With sharp vision and a bold yet measured nature, Myrmecia mandibularis is a truly unique species that stands out among its relatives.

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.
