Pheidole pallidula

Are you looking for a species with true "soldiers" that is extremely active and exhibits spectacular recruitment behavior? Pheidole pallidula is an absolute classic among Southern European ants. Despite their small body size, they are one of the most dynamic and exciting species you can keep in a formicarum. The highlight of this species is its rapid growth, its aggressiveness in hunting, and the formation of impressive soldiers.

Due to their rapid growth and small size, Pheidole pallidula are considered "escape artists" among ants. Dense setups should be carefully considered.
