Crematogaster sordidula is a species in the Myrmicinae subfamily. This species grows very quickly and forms enormous colonies of up to tens of thousands of workers. They are very adept at escaping and climbing, making them a difficult but very entertaining species.
In the wild, they often inhabit dead wood, so a dry nest is recommended.
