What Are The Easiest Live Queen Ants Colonies For a Beginner Ant Keeper?

Beginner-friendly species are Lasius niger - Black Garden Ants, Lasius flavus - Yellow Meadow Ants, Myrmica rubra - Red Fire Ants and Messor barbarus - Common Black Harvester Ants. Lasius species are native to the UK. We'll recommend getting the Messor barbarus ant colony, a fascinating seed-collecting species. Their queen ant is way bigger and more interesting. Also, they have major and super-major workers along with the normal-sized ones, and their main food is seeds.

For those interested in more exotic species, you might consider trap-jaw ants or Camponotus carpenter ants, which are popular among experienced keepers. However, these hunting ant species may require more specialised care and are not typically recommended for beginners.
