This colony includes a fertilized queen and between 5 and 15 workers , ready to establish themselves in a small anthill or continue to evolve in their test tube.
What's included?
1 fertilized queen of Tetramorium caespitum
Between 5 and 15 active workers
Breeding: eggs, larvae and pupae in evolution
Test tube with water, cotton and ventilation
Secure and controlled packaging to ensure its arrival in optimal conditions
Characteristics of Tetramorium caespitum
Small and robust ant: workers 2.5 to 4 mm
Dark brown to black in color, with a rough texture on the thorax
Queen 7–8 mm, compact and very fertile

Sugars: mead, diluted honey, nectars or nutritional gels
Recommended ant farm: suitable for expanding colonies, such as Terra Starter , especially once they exceed 20–30 workers
They do not require strict hibernation, but tolerate low temperatures in winter.
Shipment
Professional test tube with water reservoir, sealed and protected in reinforced thermal packaging. Do not handle or change the tube for the first few days after receipt.
