A stinging Tetraponera rufonigra colony had completely outgrown its setup, chewed through plastic, and was ready to escape.

So I had to move thousands of ants, brood, and eggs into a brand-new home before things got worse.

What do you think of this insane colony?

Recently I received a massive Tetraponera rufonigra colony and they really are a pain in the a*s. They do not care for any form of anti-escape, they don't want to be picked up by tweezers and they sting like a (insert your own insult here). These ants are not something I would recommend for the faint of heart. It takes a very experienced ant keeper to keep this type of ant. Haven been stung twice I can tell you, they hurt😅

After years of shipping ant keeping gear from Europe to the United States, we kept hearing the same thing from our US customers…

-Shipping takes too long.
-Import fees are too high.
-And the whole process just isn’t ideal.

So we decided to change that.

We’ve officially launched Esthetic Ants USA 🇺🇸

Orders are now shipped directly from within the United States, which means faster delivery, lower costs, and no import fees.

Right now, the store includes a selection of our best-selling products. This is just the starting point. We want to test everything first and make sure the experience is right before expanding the full range.

And this is where we’d love your help.

If you place an order, we’d really appreciate your feedback:

How did the package arrive?
How is the product quality?
What can we improve?

If you share photos or unboxing videos, even better 🙌

We’re building this together with the US ant keeping community.
