A rare opportunity for experienced ant keepers: This special offer includes three freshly caught Atta texana queens, one of the most fascinating and challenging species in the ant-keeping hobby due to their advanced fungus-farming behavior. This limited-time 72-hour sale is designed to maximize success by offering queens that are still likely to retain their fungal pellet, essential for founding a successful garden.
You will receive one cup containing 3 queens , 4 queens or 5 queens , at least one of which may still have her wings. In our experience, winged queens often show a higher success rate in establishing their fungus gardens.
⚠️ Important Notice – Please Read Carefully:
Shipping is restricted to Texas residents only. Any order placed from outside of Texas will be canceled and refunded, minus a 15% restocking fee.
Due to the extremely fragile nature of this species in transit, no live arrival guarantee will be provided. All orders will be shipped via 48-hour service at minimum, with the option to upgrade to overnight shipping at checkout.
We cannot guarantee that any of the queens will successfully establish a fungus garden, as this depends on numerous factors beyond our control.
Care Recommendations for Best Results:
For optimal founding success, we recommend placing the queens in small round Tupperware containers with 1 inch of moist (but not waterlogged) sand. Do not allow standing water to accumulate. Maintain a stable temperature between 68–70°F during the early founding period.
This species is recommended only for serious hobbyists with a solid understanding of their unique needs. Your purchase helps support careful collection practices and responsible sales within USDA-permitted regions.
