Crematogaster Scutellaris

£19.99Price
The Crematogaster Scutellaris is a fascinating species of ant that hails from southern Europe. These tiny creatures are known for their unique ability to build paper nests that resemble those created by wasps. In their natural habitat, they play an important role as predators of the fig wasp Blastophaga Psenes. If you're looking for a new and interesting addition to your ant colony, the Crematogaster Scutellaris is definitely worth considering. Their unique nesting habits and important role in the ecosystem make them a fascinating addition to any ant enthusiast's collection.

UK Live Arrival Guarantee

Every queen is checked and fed by hand before dispatch. Best Ants UK guarantees your queen ant arrives alive.

If she does not, we replace her — no argument, no restocking fee.

 

Live colonies are dispatched Monday, Wednesday and Friday only. This is deliberate: ants are never held in a depot over a weekend. Orders placed outside those days go out on the next dispatch day, packed the same morning they travel.

 

Bred in-house in Surrey since 1997. Shipped Royal Mail Tracked, mainland UK. Free delivery over £99.

​

Queen ants are living animals. We only dispatch colonies we would keep ourselves.

We are here because of you. Thank you.
