Leaf Cutting Ant Forum

I am selling my Australian Oecophylla smaragdina colony as they are growing at an alarming rate and I won't be able to provide them with a home for much longer. The colony is at least 200+ workers strong with lots of brood, currently there is a mass of pupae so the colony is expected to increase in size very quickly. They are ready to be put directly onto a small tree to weave a nest in the leaves. The Queen is healthy and is laying eggs constantly. This species from Australia are very rare and I am selling them for the same price I paid for them when I got the colony with 50 workers.

£300 with free next day shipping in the UK, can send to EU with additional postage costs. Please PM me if you are interested .

Im quite interested in them. I will watch this space, got quite a few colonies just now but if your Leaf Cutting Ant colony was anything to go by, this colony will be superb.

It is certainly a cheap colony, £300 for a colony this size is practically a steal. I've seen a colony of 100 workers going for £400 approx.

If you are interested, your colony is on display at Amazona Zoo in Cromer,Norfolk. Its doing very well, has grown hugely!

Very nice, happy it is growing and being taken care of .

You sold this colony yet?

I think he has sold it.

They're like hens teeth! Personally not a great fan of the arboreal species, I've found them the most aggressive to date! You been mauled by yours yet Uncle Bob?
