Red Barbed Ant Formica Rufibarbis

Formica rufibarbis, the Red Barbed Ant, is known for their aggressive and predatory behaviour, these ants are adept at attacking other species to establish and protect their nests. This species reveals the complexity of ant societies, from solitary queen founding to mature colonies that thrive with a robust worker population. Easy to keep ants. Make sure you provide them with a larger and well-ventilated ant farm as these ants spray formic acid which can endanger the colony.
