USDA-licensed breeder, 5.0★ from 35+ Google reviews. Ships Monday–Wednesday with a live arrival guarantee.
Small, steady, and surprisingly captivating — Monomorium minimum is one of the most rewarding live ant colonies you can keep.
This species founds colonies with multiple queens working together, which means faster establishment, stronger early growth, and a colony that hits its stride quicker than most. Low maintenance, naturally resilient, and endlessly watchable — a perfect fit whether this is your first ant farm or your tenth.
Every colony ships with:
Queens with workers and brood · Free feeding dish · Dual test tube setup (transport tube + water reservoir tube) · Live arrival guarantee (recipient must be present) · Transfer support available
Choose your live ant colony size:
- 1 queen + 20–50 workers & brood
- 1 queen + 50–100 workers & brood
- 1 queen + 250–500 workers & brood
- 2 queens + 50–100 workers & brood
- 2 queens + 250–500 workers & brood
- 4–8 queens + 500–1,000+ workers & brood
All live ants ship from our USDA-APHIS licensed facility in Dalhart, Texas.
