Ant Colony Lasius flavus 10+
Species
The Lasius flavus colony is also known as the yellow meadow ant, a common ant in our country. Our ant colonies consist of a queen along with brood and a number of workers. This number depends on the number of eggs that have developed into ants (egg-larva-pupa-ant). This colony already contains at least 10 workers, and these have been produced by the fertilized queen ant herself.
Suitable for
The ant colony is intended for acrylic, plaster, and sand ant farms. We also recommend using an arena. The ants can get their food there and dispose of waste. Many products have an integrated arena. For the initial period, the test tube has sufficient space for the ant colony. With various Ant Farms, you will find this ant colony available in a special combination price.
If you are looking for ants for a gel ant farm, we recommend the ant family.
Packaging and shipping
The photo shows how the product is actually delivered by us. The colony is in a test tube with a cotton ball behind it providing water to keep part of the nest tube moist. The colony can remain in this tube for up to a few weeks without care (after receipt). We also guarantee the life of the queen for that long. If the queen does not arrive alive or dies within a few weeks, we will provide a replacement colony.
