Liometopum microcephalum is a very rare species native to Eastern Europe. It is part of the Dolichoderinae subfamily. It often lives in the wood and forms large colonies with workers with very particular coloring; they look like Formica rufa, with the head and the black abdomen with silver reflections while the thorax is red. The queen is black and looks like a giant Formica, although more elongated.
Attention !! These queens laid well, but the brood is currently not evolving. It is possible that it evolves after the wintering but without any guarantee of result. We therefore offer these queens at a super reduced price to suit collectors, taxonomists and reckless breeders.
Size of the Liometopum microcephalum queen: about 11mm
Size of the workers: 5 to 8mm with a certain size distribution in the form of caste.
Day temperature: 27°C for good development
Night temperature: 19-24°C.
Humidity: average.
Wintering: 2 to 3 months at 8 to 17°C.
Keep an eye on the humidity and continue to feed the ants during this period. Species incompatible with gel anthills, like all colonies with a queen!
