Myrmecocystus mexicanus queen is very beautiful ant. You can see pics of them @ the internet, and they look gorgeous.

[JimmyVe]

That is true, but still they are not easy to keep. That is a bit of downside, the most beautiful ants are most of the time the most difficult to keep.

Shadown had one honeypot ant, don't knwo if she was mexicanus or what, but she died anyway. Such a shame.

[Varban]

Honey pot ants look great

[Skippy]

Yes ,my friend also had Myrmecocystus queens (mexicanus and mimicus) ,all died and he is profi ,so it is very difficult to keep ,it is true. But I believe ,I have some experience and I want to try it. Camponotus ocreatus is also nice ,and easy to keep ,I know ,my friend told me it . Myrmecocystus mexicanus is big ant and nice coloured. They have honeypot ants since start of colony ,mimicus only when is colony bigger. I had many ants hard to keep ,european and exotic ,so .... only try can discover if I have experience ,If they will die ,I will know that ,I´ll must to learn more about ants in formicarium .
