Customer reviews: Author:plathey franck 01.04.2009 Evaluation: Bonjour, Quant cette espèce sera t-ellle à nouveau disponible? Merci, Votre site est super...:) Author:Ziggy Shaw 20.12.2008 Evaluation: fairly bad service. Queen came with no fungus of her own (lucky I got some more with her), she came with no brood or eggs. Ant the ant she came with was dead. The fungus I ordered for some reason have 4 ants in it already... They could have killed her but she adopted them. ANTSWER FROM ANTSTORE: Sorry that you was not so happy, but as we start to shipping, the fungus and the workers was OK. And the eggs was in the inside of the original fungus. In the extern fungus we have put some workers to care the fungus at the transport time. If you have any problems, please use our customer service.
