Straight from the my antics ant shop !**All orders will be sent with signature required to prevent prolonged exposure to outdoor elements**Species-Prenolepis imparis This is a healthy, established colony with two bonded queens, 50+ workers, and a solid amount of eggs and brood!Why False Honeypot Ants Are Special
False honeypot ants are famous for their unique “living pantry” workers. Certain workers develop large, balloon-like swollen abdomens that act as live food storage for the colony when resources are scarce. A thriving colony can look like a living bag of Skittles — one of the most striking sights in the ant-keeping hobby.
Unlike most ants, this species thrives in cooler temperatures. They are highly cold-tolerant and remain active in conditions that would slow or stop many other species, making them an excellent choice for keepers who prefer lower temps or want a species that doesn’t demand constant heat.
