Messor angularis is a species in the subfamily Myrmicinae. They are also called the harvester ant, because they are known to accept various types of seeds and grind them into a paste which they then feed to the larvae and the queen. They are fairly easy-going and undemanding to their conditions, making them an ideal strain for patient beginners. It is important that this species is placed in a place where there are little to no vibrations, as this species is very sensitive to this and this causes stress.
