What Are The Easiest Live Queen Ants Colonies For a Beginner Ant Keeper?
Beginner-friendly species for those new to the ant keeping hobby 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. 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. These species are perfect for observing colony operation and defence mechanisms.
