The queen can reach a maximum length of 6.5 millimeters

So, a small ant, if you decide to buy the Solenopsis fugax. Take the queen, for example, which can reach a maximum length of 6.5 millimeters. The workers are, of course, even smaller, ranging between 1.5 and 3 millimeters. What's no different is that if you decide to buy the Solenopsis fugax, you'll be dealing with an ant that hibernates between November and February.

The ants prefer to sleep at a temperature of around 15 degrees Celsius

Regarding the temperature of hibernation, ants prefer a temperature around 15 degrees Celsius. They thrive in temperatures between 20 and 28 degrees Celsius, and if you want to pamper them, ensure a temperature between 24 and 26 degrees Celsius. Ytong is the best nesting material.

If you want to buy a Solenopsis fugax, be aware that you are buying very small ants

If you want to buy a Solenopsis fugax, make sure you feed the ants insects, sugar water, and honey. The ant is part of the Myrmicinae subfamily. In practice, you'll mainly buy small, somewhat yellowish ants with this ant species. An alternative name for this ant species is thief ants. Although the ants look small and harmless, they can sting. This is absolutely not dangerous, however, a sting from this ant can cause a slight burning sensation.

In all, there is a very special ant

So, it's truly a very special ant. These ants are very small, colorful, and can even sting. A sting will cause absolutely no injury. In that respect, anyone can work with these small, fierce ants. There's absolutely no obstacle to that. Especially not the small, harmless stings of this tiny ant.

Something went wrong with the order, but they handled it very quickly and very neatly.
A really great store.
Jan
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).
Zane
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.
Greetings from Belgium from Daan

Visited the showroom last week, nice to see.
Bought a polyrhachis dives colony and accessories, everything was well organised.
Bodhi Dubbelman
In my opinion the best ant dealer in the Netherlands. Ordered 3 colonies and all in top condition. Communication is also great.
Maykel Schollen
I received my Polyrhachis colony a few weeks ago, it was not my first purchase here, but as always neatly packaged and shipped quickly. The ants look great and healthy, they have also been building a lot, I am very happy with them.
Thomas Overman
Placed a few orders, everything fine! Last time something went wrong, I immediately received a response and a solution + extra. Top service.
Boaite
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
Evan
Ordered fruit flies yesterday and they arrived today by letter. Very good quality and service! I'll be ordering some more food soon :)
Pim Bouwens
Very fast and neat delivery of the products. Everything was neatly packaged and was kept informed by email. I am very satisfied, you have a regular customer!!!
Ernst Bruinsma
Received the ordered ants today. These were very well packaged, all delivered in good condition. Thanks for this. This webshop is highly recommended. Good/fast and professional.
Dano
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!
Carl Boeckx
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.
Nick
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
Johan Roos
