Polyrhachis Dives Breeding Sheet
Polyrhachis dives is a polygyne species that practices intra-nidal reproduction. They develop extremely quickly and are very active. They have the peculiarity of weaving nests with their larvae, generally composed of debris found in the surroundings, but in the absence of these, they can weave without them. I still recommend giving them some wood shavings because, in general, without substrate, waste is used.
