Lasius flavus

Are you looking for an easy beginner species, but Lasius niger is too boring for you? Lasius flavus is just as robust, but visually a much more spectacular ant species! With its brightly light yellow workers, it stands out completely from the black garden ant. In nature, it lives almost exclusively underground and cultivates root aphids; in the formicarium, it is an absolute eye-catcher!

From a calm foundation in a test tube to a bustling, active colony with its own road construction: with Lasius flavus, you'll experience all the exciting phases of ant keeping up close!
