Buy Camponotus fedtschenkoi

If you choose to buy a Camponotus fedtschenkoi, you're buying an ant that's somewhat different from most other ants. This is especially true for the fact that these ants aren't native to Europe, but are found primarily in Asia. This immediately highlights a major difference from buying Camponotus herculeanus, which, for example, does originate in Europe.

The queen can reach a considerable length

The queen of this ant colony can certainly be called rather long. She can reach a length of between 15 and 18 millimeters. Even now, the worker ants remain rather small, at a maximum of 9 millimeters. The soldiers, on the other hand, can reach a length of between 10 and 18 millimeters. Another remarkable thing about buying Camponotus fedtschenkoi is the fact that these ants don't hibernate.

The ants enjoy a temperature between 22 and 29 degrees Celsius

Ants thrive in temperatures between 22 and 29 degrees Celsius. Ideally, ensure a temperature between 25 and 27 degrees Celsius. This is where these ants feel most comfortable. The ant's nest is also important, of course. You can choose between ytong and plaster, as these nests thrive best in these conditions.

Buying a camponotus fedtschenkoi means you are buying a large and brightly colored ant

If you decide to buy the Camponotus fedtschenkoi, there are no special features to note regarding these ants' diet. They enjoy insects, sugar water, and honeydew, which is true for almost all ants. What's also not particularly surprising is that this ant belongs to the Formicinae subfamily. What is, however, striking is the fact that these are large and bright yellow ants that truly stand out.

The growth of this ant is initially quite slow

Initially, this ant's growth can be quite slow. On the other hand, you're dealing with a truly beautiful ant that also stands out for its exemplary behavior. What more could you ask for as an ant keeper? Absolutely nothing, right? It's therefore logical that more and more people who want to start their own ant colony are choosing this ant.
