Large and aggressive, they are a spectacle to watch. Colonies don’t often grow more than 200 workers.

This species of ant is really bad at climbing, they often for that reason stay at ground level or just above.

Nesting in plants or under rotting wood they form large tunnel entrances to fit their prey items in.

Coming from a warm environment they prefer to be kept warm and humid although very hardy they can survive large drops in temp for short times.
