I'd be interested in hearing if anybody knew where to order these!

There is a shop I think from Israel where you can order Messor arenarius they are nearly as big as Messor cephalotes.
But this is the only thread I saw in years in which somebody really had Messor cephalotes. They are very rare as nearly every ant from Africa.

23th April 2012 : swarm of Messor cephalotes at the Great Rift Valley Lodge, Naivasha. I saw many Messor angularis queens but only one Messor cephalotes queen beginning to dig its nest.

Very nice! I wish I could have this ant, congratulations!

Real cuties! ;)

Looks like they are philoprogenitive, how long did it take for the first worker to hatch?

Does anyone have any information on where I could purchase these ants?
