I got my black harvester ant colony last year and they been awesome. I’ve had a few kinds of ants before but these ones are def my favorite. They’re really good at collecting seeds and just fun to watch.
When I first got them there was only a few workers, but now theres like 500! It’s been so cool seeing them grow. They’re not hard to take care of and they don’t go crazy or anything like that. Just really chill and smart.
