Very interesting species, beautiful and active, especially at higher temperatures. Also one of, if not the easiest tropical species to keep in my opinion. Wonderful ants, I would highly recommend Polyrhachis Dives, especially if you are going to try tropical ants for the first time. A few ants died in transit but I am aware that this is quite normal, so do not be alarmed if there are a few dead ants when they arrive. Note that with these ants an escape proof formicarium is essential as they are very good at escaping, I personally recommend a moat with a tall structure for them to weave their best on to and a feeding area, as this seems to be most effective :-) Also these ants preffer a temperature of above 23 Celsius preferably but do cope very well with lower temperatures compared to most tropical species. Also great service from antstore, good packaging and a healthy colony. Thanks antstore!

Ordered 100 - 250 package, A lot of dead ants but i hear this is somewhat natural in this species, Even with the dead still recieved over 300 workers and 3 queens. More then ordered. Beautifull species tho they do tend to fight amongst themselves a lot!
