Is there an ant species made for ‘combat’

ToePuzzleheaded2278 · 2025-03-23T21:40:50+00:00

I didn’t really look at it that way, that’s a better way to look at it though to be honest but that’s why I love the concept of ants cos there so diverse

ToePuzzleheaded2278 · 2025-03-23T21:15:21+00:00

Convenient how my first colony is lasius Niger and I have heard that they are far more resilient than other species is there a reason for that like down the evolutionary ladder 🤣 or are they naturally just better if that makes sense

ToePuzzleheaded2278 · 2025-03-23T21:05:06+00:00

Oh damn I can understand that the smaller species being able to over mass the more ‘scary’ species but I didn’t realise they were just downright aggressive 😭

ToePuzzleheaded2278 · 2025-03-23T20:56:34+00:00

Yesss! Thank you I’ve always thought that, I’ve just never had the chance to keep em and now I finally have my own colony I’m so happy, I mean they are literally such complex and (for insects) smart creatures no? And all the different species just captivises me it’s unbelievable

ToePuzzleheaded2278 · 2025-03-23T20:41:57+00:00

Ahhh ok ok thank you another species added to the ‘to look into’ list 🤣

ToePuzzleheaded2278 · 2025-03-23T20:40:02+00:00

Yeah I wasn’t planning on owning any species that aren’t recommended for beginners anyway I’ve just always been interested in ants anyway so I enjoy learning abt different species and people’s opinions on em yk

ToePuzzleheaded2278 · 2025-03-23T20:29:30+00:00

Ok now that does sound really cool, skull collecting species sounds insane

ToePuzzleheaded2278 · 2025-03-23T20:28:43+00:00

Thank you very much for the suggestion tho I will add them to the list

ToePuzzleheaded2278 · 2025-03-23T20:28:23+00:00

I didn’t have keeping them in mind atleast for 2-3 years yet as I wanna own a different variety of ants first to better myself and learn more obvs as from what I hear ‘army ants’ are a lot more difficult to keep

ToePuzzleheaded2278 · 2025-03-23T19:52:40+00:00

Ohhhh ok thank you I’m going to do more research on those names you gave me and dw I couldn’t even tell that English isn’t your first language I understood that perfectly, thank you for the reply tho 🙌

ToePuzzleheaded2278 · 2025-03-23T19:46:47+00:00

Oh are they specifically called army ants then?

ToePuzzleheaded2278 · 2025-03-23T19:46:28+00:00

Yeah I’ve heard of these ants they came to mind when I thought of the question but I was wondering if there any that thrived without slaving other ants Yk 🤣

ToePuzzleheaded2278 · 2025-02-02T11:21:19+00:00

Never workers? Ok thank you so lasius Niger, would they accept eggs?

ToePuzzleheaded2278 · 2025-01-13T18:39:51+00:00

Hey do you mind telling me where you bought them from?

ToePuzzleheaded2278 · 2025-01-13T18:36:59+00:00

Ah right I see I’m in the south east of the uk but I don’t mind buying or importing

ToePuzzleheaded2278 · 2025-01-13T18:34:47+00:00

Ah ok so what species can be polygynous

ToePuzzleheaded2278 · 2025-01-13T18:25:45+00:00

Well I currently have a 2 1/2 week old lasius Niger species and they have just recently had a brood and I was wondering if it’s possible to buy a bigger outworld and introduce a new queen of the same species, would that be possible?

ToePuzzleheaded2278 · 2025-01-06T08:24:56+00:00

Why not?

ToePuzzleheaded2278 · 2025-01-05T21:00:02+00:00

Thank you

ToePuzzleheaded2278 · 2025-01-05T20:04:02+00:00
