Product Description

The Red Harvester Ant (Pogonomyrmex barbatus) is a beautiful, large sized ant that is a great beginner species. Feeding is easy because they eat mostly seeds. They do sting but escapes are unlikely due to their lack of climbing abilities.

Growth

Maintaining a suitable temperature is crucial for development. Ideally, their nest should be kept between 85-92 degrees Fahrenheit, with a heating gradient if possible. Heating gradients can be obtained with a heating cable.

Diet

Their diet consists of small seeds (bluegrass or dandelion are preferred), fruit pieces, and an optional weekly protein source like crickets, fruit flies, and mealworms.

Upkeep

Since their diet consists mostly of seeds, a pile of seed husks will develop quickly. We highly recommend buying The Ant Vacuum from our store to aid in cleaning up the husks from the outworld. If the ants accidently get sucked into the vial, you can remove with your fingers provided that you are wearing surgical gloves.
