About this product
Species Info:
- General: Also known as the Bicarinate Paving Ant, Tetramorium bicarinatum is a highly adaptable and fast-growing species. Colonies are strongly polygynous, often thriving with multiple queens in one nest. Workers are small and brown with subtle sculpturing, while queens are larger and more robust. This species is very active, aggressive toward other ants, and known for rapid expansion under good conditions.
- Diet: Omnivorous and highly opportunistic. They require constant access to liquid sugars such as honey or sugar water, and protein sources like insects (mealworms, crickets, fruit flies). They are not picky and will accept a wide range of foods, including processed or cooked proteins. Frequent feeding leads to explosive colony growth.
- Temperature: Prefers warm conditions for optimal development. Ideal temperature range is 75-86°F. Higher temperatures within this range significantly accelerate brood production..
- Diapause: Does not require diapause. This species remains active year-round when kept warm, making it ideal for continuous observation and growth.
- Growth: Very fast-growing species. Brood development can take as little as 3-5 weeks under ideal warmth and feeding. Colonies can reach thousands of workers within a short time, especially with multiple queens present.
