I don't care who you are, Aphaenogaster picea looks like a grump. With that in mind, when you uncover one of their nests you will be swarmed, but luckily they don't sting or spray acid. They just bite. But it's very annoying, they are good biters.⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ Queens available at⠀ www.theinsectemporium.com⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ @prilaga #antkeeping #Canadian #antkeepingequipment #antkeepingdrama #prilaga #antkeeping2018 #antkeepingkit #antkeepingdepot #antkeepingmadeeasy #antkeeping🐜 #antkeepingadventure #antkeepinghobby #antkeepingforever #antkeepinguk #antkeepingusa
How about a common carpenter ant species? Camponotus novaeboracensis. These girls are black with a red thorax which is pretty cool. They are also a big, slow growing species which makes them great for people just starting out in the hobby. They absolutely love fruit flies, they go crazy for them.⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ Queens available at⠀ www.theinsectemporium.com⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ @prilaga #antkeeping #Canadian #antkeepingequipment #antkeepingdrama #prilaga #antkeeping2018 #antkeepingkit #antkeepingdepot #antkeepingmadeeasy #antkeeping🐜 #antkeepingadventure #antkeepinghobby #antkeepingforever #antkeepinguk #antkeepingusa
Another cool Formica species, this is Formica neoclara. Brown with some hints of orangey-red this is a super cool ant that looks quite different from something like Formica subsericea.⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ Queens available at⠀ www.theinsectemporium.com⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ @prilaga #antkeeping #Canadian #antkeepingequipment #antkeepingdrama #prilaga #antkeeping2018 #antkeepingkit #antkeepingdepot #antkeepingmadeeasy #antkeeping🐜 #antkeepingadventure #antkeepinghobby #antkeepingforever #antkeepinguk #antkeepingusa
Despite what I said about the F. bradleyi, these are my favourite ants. Crematogaster cerasi/lineolata. They are also known as acrobat ants and are really good climbers! They are a smaller ant, but get them mad and they bend their gasters over their backs like a scorpion!⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ Queens available at⠀ www.theinsectemporium.com⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ @prilaga #antkeeping #Canadian #antkeepingequipment #antkeepingdrama #prilaga #antkeeping2018 #antkeepingkit #antkeepingdepot #antkeepingmadeeasy #antkeeping🐜 #antkeepingadventure #antkeepinghobby #antkeepingforever #antkeepinguk #antkeepingusa
Honestly didn't care much for these until I got some in. Formica bradleyi are super cool! Formica are usually black, red, or some combo of the two but not this girl.

This is a really cool ant named Brachymyrmex depilis. This little girl is only about 3-4mm long! She is a queen so she will be bigger than her workers.

Happy Halloween! Don't let this Thief ant steal all your candy! Solonopsis molesta is a a really tiny ant with even smaller workers.

This is a queen ant in the genus Myrmica. These ants are pretty small with workers under 5mm usually. They are a semi-claustral genus which means the queens go out and forage for food with their workers. They are also a type of ant that can have multiple queens in the same colony! Which means they can grow pretty fast in the right conditions.⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ Available at⠀⠀ www.theinsectemporium.com⠀⠀ Use code FIRST10 at checkout to get 10% off your first order.⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ @prilaga #antkeeping #Canadian #antkeepingequipment #antkeepingdrama #prilaga #antkeeping2018 #antkeepingkit #antkeepingdepot #antkeepingmadeeasy #antkeeping🐜 #antkeepingadventure #antkeepinghobby #antkeepingforever #antkeepinguk #antkeepingusa #antkeepingshop #antkeepinguk2017 #antkeeping🐜🐜🐜 #antkeepingph #antkeepingenthusiasts #antkeepingproblems #antkeepingindonesia #antkeepingcommunity #antkeepinghobbie #antkeepingca #antkeepingtips #antkeepingthemoccupied #antkeepingthailand #antkeepingloveforever #antkeepingiscool
A cool Ponera pennsylvanica with 2 newly eclosed workers. I'm pretty sure that's why they are still yellow. These are a bit of a rare find living under rocks and logs. They look an awful lot like dirt if you're not paying close attention. .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ www.theinsectemporium.com⠀ Use code FIRST10 at checkout to get 10% off your first order.⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ @prilaga #antkeeping #Canadian #antkeepingequipment #antkeepingdrama #prilaga #antkeeping2018 #antkeepingkit #antkeepingdepot #antkeepingmadeeasy #antkeeping🐜 #antkeepingadventure #antkeepinghobby #antkeepingforever #antkeepinguk #antkeepingusa

Here is one of my Stigmatomma pallipes girls! I have about 4-5 colonies of these and just noticed on Friday they are sending out alates! Hopefully they will breed for me! They are a polygynous species of ant which means they can have multiple egg laying queens in a single colony.⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ Available at⠀ www.theinsectemporium.com⠀ Use code FIRST10 at checkout to get 10% off your first order.⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ @prilaga #antkeeping #Canadian #antkeepingequipment #antkeepingdrama #prilaga #antkeeping2018 #antkeepingkit #antkeepingdepot #antkeepingmadeeasy #antkeeping🐜 #antkeepingadventure #antkeepinghobby #antkeepingforever #antkeepinguk #antkeepingusa #antkeepingshop #antkeepinguk2017 #antkeeping🐜🐜🐜 #antkeepingph #antkeepingenthusiasts #antkeepingproblems #antkeepingindonesia #antkeepingcommunity #antkeepinghobbie #antkeepingca #antkeepingtips #antkeepingthemoccupied #antkeepingthailand #antkeepingloveforever #antkeepingiscool
