(After seeing Ants_Texas's Solenopsis invicta meme care sheet I decided to make one about....Argentine ants) 

 

 

Scientific name: Linepithema conqueror 

 

Common name: Argentine ants

 

Where they live: Everywhere.......

 

Queen size: 4-6 millimeters

 

Worker size: 2.2-2.8 millimeters

 

Natural habitat: Again, everywhere.

 

Circidian activity: Mostly day time but might come out at night.

 

Mating flight: They don't fly, the queens mate inside of the nest. I mean, there is only one big super colony of them.

 

Queen founding method: Right after they mate, they have colony of millions. (they stay in their nest and become a queen there).

 

Average time from egg to worker: A few weeks. But when 1 egg emerges, a hundred more do.

 

Recommended Temperature: They don't really care, but I'm sure they can live in any temperature.

 

Recommended Humidity: I really don't think they care. I mean they live in Argentine, then they come to Australia and the US they live just fine. 

 

Preferred foods: They will eat anything you give them or they find. Even other ants. they will happily go into cabinet an into your honey jar and drink that too.

 

Hibernation details: They do.

 

Escape barrier methods: I don't think there is any.

 

Difficulty rating: They are the easiest ant to take care off. And the only as they will escape and kill all your other ants.

 

Bite and/or sting rating: None, 0/10.

 

Special care or interesting notes: There is one giant supercolony and if you out a worker from japan and the US together, they will not fight.
