Doubles and triples are 2- and 3-queen packs, each queen individually tubed.
The season begins with one of the most sought-after honey pot ants in the continental United States.
Myrmecocystus placodops is widely regarded as the largest and most visually striking species within its genus available in the hobby. Known for producing impressive repletes and bold worker castes, this species represents a true long-term show colony for dedicated keepers.
These queens were field collected during verified flight conditions and are offered in limited quantities from our first major drop of the season. Availability will fluctuate based on flight activity and collection success.
This is not a beginner novelty species. This is a desert-adapted, slow-building, high-reward colony species best suited for keepers who understand founding patience and long-term colony development.
• One of the largest Myrmecocystus species in the lower 48
• Known for dramatic replete development
• Hardy desert species when properly established
• Highly desirable among serious honey pot collectors
Over time, colonies develop impressive storage workers and exhibit classic honey pot behavior that makes this genus legendary in the hobby.
Double Packs – 2 queens, individually tubed
Triple Packs – 3 queens, individually tubed
These are not co-housed and are not known to cohabitate during the founding stages.
Permitted for shipment only to the following states:
California

Orders placed outside of approved states will be cancelled.
Please review our shipping practices and Live Arrival Guarantee requirements on the FAQ page before selecting your shipping method. Eligibility depends on selecting an approved service level.
This is the first significant release of the season. Once this drop sells through, restock timing will depend entirely on natural flight patterns.
Secure yours while available.
