About this listing

Mystrium camillae, native to FNQ, boasts the fastest known movement of any animal on the planet! They feast both on their own larvae (without killing them) and other animals - thus their nickname 'Dracula Ants'. Their manidbles snap together 322km/h, OR 5000 times faster than the blink of an eye, thus stunning their prey. Afterwhich, they feast on the juices of the dying prey. They also accept pre-killed protein. Youtube has plenty of videos about this species. Don't miss out on this extremely rare species in your collection. Queen + about 30 workers (both minors and majors) and larvae. $800 (includes postage).

The seller will confirm current condition, handover arrangements and any species-specific care details before a trade is agreed.
