  They arrived after 6 days of shipment (package was sent on friday, arrived next thursday) during a time of extreme temperature (around 35 Celsius) and only 2 ants had died. This species really is tough, and I believe the best exotic species to begin with. I have them for 3 weeks now and they really are doing well. I have 5 queens and a load of workers (I will not count them but around 200 I think), really excellent species. only 2 ants had died.

  Fantastic. Simply wonderful. I bought a 1000+ colony and there must be a lot more than that. My daughter sat with me and we watched them explore their new home, a beautiful 50x50x50, also from the great folks at Antstore, until bedtime. Many, many thanks to Mr. S and everyone at Antstore for the great advice and the wonderful Polyrhachis dives! new home, a beautiful 50x50x50, also from the great folks at Antstore, until bedtime.

  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! opinion.

  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! workers and 3 queens. More then ordered. Beautifull species tho they do tend to fight amongst themselves a lot!
