This species is relatively uncommon, with occurrences along the coast of QLD and NSW.

Size is mid-range for Polyrhachis, between 8-9mm.

Express shipping is $14, dispatched on the next suitable Monday or Tuesday. Queen + Shipping is $54.

Ant Care: Queens of the genus Polyrhachis are semi-claustral, and need to be fed sugars and proteins regularly. These queens will do best in their test tube setups for now, and I wouldn’t put them into a nest or outworld during the colony founding process. They are currently being fed sugar water/honey 3 times a week alternating liquid-protein and mealworms when applicable.

Payment via Paypal will be requested before the Ants are shipped.
