Ants, numbering 12,000 species in the world, have evolved to achieve an incredible mastery of organization and the most unexpected solutions to survive.
But when we studied the most interesting species of ants, we realized that it was possible to meet their needs by recreating a suitable environment.
By mastering the right parameters of the anthill, their world is revealed, the queen lays eggs, the workers are active and the colony grows. Did you know that a colony can live more than 15 years?
We have gathered all the required knowledge about ants for more than 15 years. Myrmecologists (ant experts) sometimes call on our services for ant breeding as well as the many enthusiasts and schools. Indeed, even if the ants are very simple to raise when the conditions are met, this only happens if we respond correctly to their needs with the help of a suitable artificial anthill, preferably not entirely in Plexi or plastic (see our best models here ). The secret of ants lies in a fair balance of moisture and food needs in particular. They will thus be able to reveal their social behavior, egg-laying, hunting, etc.
The secret of ants also lies in many characteristics specific to each species: formic acid hunting, exploration by visual landmark, food storage, aphid breeding, venom hunting, chemical disruptors, slavery, looting... ants are capable of feats that we discover on video, or in each of the corresponding sheets. You will find our different species here .
