🧬 Why Keep This Species?
M. mexicanus is one of the largest and most vibrantly colored honeypots in the hobby. With a calm temperament and strong colony-building instinct, this species develops trophic repletes readily under the right conditions — perfect for educational setups or display-focused collections.
Key Features:
• 🌟 Striking Coloration – Bright yellow queens and workers, sometimes with tiger-striped gasters
• 🐜 Colony Potential – Grows into the thousands with proper care
• 🌵 Desert Adapted – Low humidity, high-temp setups are ideal
• 👁 Amazing Observation Species – Trophic repletes = unmatched visual interest
• 🔬 Scientific Fascination – A great example of adaptive biology in desert ants
📚 Fun Fact:
Myrmecocystus mexicanus queens vary regionally in coloration, making each colony a potential one-of-a-kind visual masterpiece. Their development of repletes (living food storage ants) is a hallmark of advanced colony evolution and an exciting process to witness firsthand.
