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.

Buy Messor angularis

Planning to buy the messor angularis? Good idea, especially if you are a beginner in the ant world. Buying Messor angularis means that you will have access to a special messor species from Africa. All in all, buying Messor angularis is a good idea if you are just starting to keep ants.

See everything you need

What is striking about buying the Messor angularis is the color of the head.

This ant species occurs in Africa, mainly in the area around Kenya and Tanzania. The Queen reaches a length of between 11 and 12 millimeters, the workers, on the other hand, are a lot smaller with a length of between 5 and 10 millimeters.

Various nest types are possible for this ant species

As far as food is concerned, this ant species does a great job with seeds, insects, sugar and various liquids. The ant is considered a subfamily of the myrmicinae and just like the messor structor, you buy an ant that is also called a harvester ant. The ants also take various seeds and then turn them into a paste. They then give that paste to the larvae and also to the queen.

A relatively easy-going ant species

Buying a messor angularis means that you are purchasing a relatively easy ant species. The ant makes few demands on the conditions and environment in which it has to live. It is very wise to keep the ants away from vibrations. These ants are very sensitive to that. It causes them stress and of course you have to prevent that. It also takes some time to get used to the large soldiers. Otherwise, as a beginner it is an excellent idea to buy the messor angularis. You could hardly wish for an easier species of ants.

Ordered something three times in the past month and a half. Good and quick answers to questions via chat and the Camponotus Nicobarensis colony was well packaged and arrived healthy (with workers and brood).

I recently ordered ants (Camponotus Cruentatus species)
They arrived very healthy and are already living in their formicarium with the outside world they love the food I put in them.
I use the beetlejelly cups, which is what my ants like best.
A jelly cup is large and can last a very long time.
If they need a little bit of protein, I use a bowl of mealworms that were also ordered from here.
I am very satisfied and recommend this store to everyone.

I have pheidole pallidula and Camponotus nicobaresis all arrived in good condition, I bought pheidole 100+ workers so there was immediately a small outside world with many brothers at the end of the holiday so already 200 and the nicobaresis is also doing well Top

very good quality, the queen arrived alive and healthy.

There was plenty of seed and there were many larvae and brood. The colony had 13 workers at the time of delivery. A really fun species to keep and it is definitely worth stealing this and observing the ants. Definitely worth the small amount. Tip: look very carefully and keep them in one place as much as possible, they are very sensitive

Ordered a colony a few days ago, it was well packed and delivered quickly. There were slightly fewer ants than ordered, as Perry himself had indicated. I believe that's why he gave extra Beatlejelly. Really top service, definitely recommended!

Today I received my colony of Aphaenogaster gibbosa after some delay at Post.nl.

But after a phone call with Quality ants, I was reassured that the animals would arrive safely. This is top business.

Camponotus fedschenkoi ordered.

This was clearly packed with great care and arrived in good condition. Ordered a Messor barbarus queen here last year and a year later they are also doing great. Large range for a great price. In short, highly recommended
