View details: Odontoponera denticulata ants — 1 queen acclimated in a moduleAbout the genus
Odontoponera is a small genus of ponerine ants from monsoon Asia. Workers have serrated mandibles and large eyes, hunt by day and dig well. They eat almost nothing but insects.
Care
- Temperature: 24–28 °C all year, no hibernation.
- Humidity: high in the nest, a drier arena.
- Food: mainly insects: crickets, roaches and mealworms 2–3 times a week; occasionally a little diluted honey.
Safety
Workers sting, and the sting is painful. Do not handle the ants, use long forceps, and if you are allergic to bee or wasp stings, choose another species.
