Antlantis - Veromessor Queen Ants and Ant Colony Collection

Explore the world of Veromessor—a genus of calm, seed-harvesting ants native to arid and semi-arid regions of the western U.S. At Antlantis, we offer a variety of Veromessor species perfect for ant keepers of all experience levels. Unlike their more aggressive relatives like Pogonomyrmex, Veromessor ants are known for their gentle nature, making them ideal for beginners and experienced keepers alike. They display fascinating group foraging behavior, often working together to carry seeds back to the nest in organized trails. With steady growth and no sting risk, Veromessor offers a rewarding balance of activity and manageability. Antlantis colonies include a healthy queen and are well-suited to dry setups with room for foraging and seed storage. If you're looking for a low-stress genus that still brings engaging behavior and desert resilience, Veromessor is a standout choice in any ant collection.
