## Description

Messor barbarus are a semi exotic species of ant collected in Spain they have polymorphic workers meaning that workers come in various sizes some small and larger heads as the colony develops. These are harvester ants meaning 60% of their diet is seeds they grind down to make ant bread. This Queen has a dark red head. We are a number 1 established brand for ants in the UK. We supply these amazing ants with organic seeds as well as a pipette to feed and water your colony and care sheet along with our amazing customer support. We believe ants are a great gift or personal buy as they are living creatures can teach us about life cycle and keeping a pet as well as making children and adults more aware and in closer contact with nature. Live arrival guarantee we ensure the live arrival of the queen only upon delivery contact us within 24-48 hours of receiving the Queen dead on arrival with a picture of the dead queen and the original workers. DO NOT TRANSFER THE DEAD QUEEN OR WORKERS TO A NEST AS THIS VOIDS YOUR WARRANTY. For our additional 14-day guarantee for European species the Queen and workers must be kept in the original test tube sealed with the cotton and care sheet instructions followed if you want to keep this additional guarantee do not transfer to a nest or your warranty is VOIDED (we recommend you keep the 14-day warranty). We have no control over the environment outside the test tube and have no influence in the conditions the responsibility once placed outside the test tube within the 14-day period the responsibility is with the buyer. 9 times out of 10 colonies die in the nest due to lack of water access, food, temperature, oxygen or stress due to vibrations or exposure to excess light. If your colony does fail inside a nest contact us, we can advise what went wrong but it is up to you to buy another ant colony, you will succeed but sometimes it does not work the first time. Research is key to success with ant keeping and follow our guides.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just what I was looking for
*by M***S on 13 October 2021*

The media could not be loaded. Had my queen, workers and eggs for about a month now. Arrived on time , I have kept ants before, put into there new home in the test tube for about 3 days then let out. As you can see they went straight for the pre made hole and got to work. Now they are settled down,haven’t seen much of them for a week or so, but that’s also because of the time of year. All in all very pleased with them. Just what I was looking for. Looking forward to the spring when they will be more active 🐜🐜🐜

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome Service

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Huge queen
*by M***S on 20 June 2020*

First class service, package came next day..huge queen and loads of energetic ants, attached tube to ant farm and within minutes the had all and I mean all moved from the tube into the farm. My grandson and me could not believe our eyes as they got to work, even taking the supplied seeds in the tube into the dark. 4hours later they have already started to tunnel.Thanks for the ants, you’ve made to boys very happy.
