Manica rubida is a species in the Myrmicinea subfamily. This species has a prodigious hunting instinct and can sting quite a bit. It's very difficult to raise if you have a single queen because they are semi-claustral, meaning they have no food reserves and therefore must be fed during the founding stage.
