heya guys

i received my P.Rhea queen today, shes absolutely beautiful !! really chunky, she looks like Pheidogolaten queen ! but black.
shes got so many eggs, just watched her lay 2 in a row. shes about 14mm. massive for a pheidole !

[Janzi]

damn... i want one too

[armyoforigin]

My queen just arrived.

She is dead :'(

I am gutted. I am just about to send a mail to the seller.

=(

I suppose I will have to try next year.... Or something.

[kashmir79]

or im sorry about that dude

you will get your money back though. did you have Next Day delivery ?

just been watching he gather her eggs up. she has about 150 eggs ane 3 small larvae !!

[armyoforigin]

Yes I had next day delivery.

I had not paid for her yet. I can either cancel the order or get 3x Pogonomyrmex's. I am just gonna cancel the order

I either have to send her back in an envelope or take a picture, and since I do not have a camera I am looking to borrow one of my sister.

Glad to hear that your queen is doing so well Hope she does really well

why not get 3x Pogonomyrmex's their beautiful big harvester ants

As it says on the sellers website they need sand to tunnel into and a high temperature in order to lay unlike most ants. I cannot provide this.

And as I have read on this site, too many people buy ants then ask for advice on keeping them and cannot provide what they need.

I am upset about the Rhea queen but will probably get a Formica Cinerea, as they seem great And I would love a big ant, (That is relatively easy to care for) but that's not to say that my little ants aren't great

As I said before I hope you queen makes a great colony, and please make sure to keep us updated!

she looks like Pheidogolaten queen !

I think you mean Pheidologeton, not ?
Could be she looks like that but the queens of that species or much larger than 14mm. (up to 25mm if i'm not mistaken)

Yes keep us updated and i'm still waiting on the pictures.

btw: from which store did you buy them ?

That is where we (me and kashmir79) got our queens from.

He is getting some honey pot ant queens in later this week, ~£20 I think

He is very reliable.

Thanks.
I also have a friend of mine here in Belgium that has all of these ants, i thought you where buying them from him. Price looks the same.
Sorry to hear about you queen. Better luck next time.

Thanks Jimmy

To be honest I would rather a queen be DOA, than have her die in my care, I have never had a queen die on me before =) though I have had my Temnothorax nylanderi colony 'disappear'.

I have never heard of this Belgium seller. But I am sure that the postage would be too much. Glad to hear that Germany has such a good seller also

[kashmir79]
