Are you looking for an ant species that dramatically stands out from the "standard"? Ectomomyrmex zhengi brings a pure primeval feeling directly into your formicarium. As representatives of the Ponerinae (primitive ants), these animals impress not only with their striking, robust appearance and deep black sheen, but above all with their fascinating hunting behavior.
Unlike more highly developed ant species, they do not possess a crop for sharing liquid food. This means they are excellent hunters who catch their prey as a team or in thrilling solo hunts and carry it whole into the nest.
