Diacamma violaceum Breeding Sheet
Diacamma violaceum is a 2cm monster equipped with a well-functional sting. Exceptional hunters, they will impress you with the speed at which they can kill large prey. Ultimately, they are relatively easy to breed, requiring a significant protein intake for rapid development (although the time from egg to hatch is quite long, it is compensated by substantial egg-laying).
All colonies for sale come with a gamergate guarantee. Gamergates were identified through the following process: each worker ant from every colony was individually picked up with tweezers, inspected for the presence of gems that characterize gamergates, and then placed in another container. In cases where an ant was well-endowed with gems, their behavior (non-aggressiveness) was studied to confirm with certainty that they are indeed fertile.
This lengthy identification process partly explains the high price of this species.
