Paratrechina longicornis, or the Black Crazy Ant, is an unusual invasive species in heated greenhouses and tropical countries across the world. What makes these ants particularly unique is their ability to clone and create supercolonies. Black crazy ant queens can produce copies of themselves in genetically isolated populations, and colonies from hundreds of miles away will often be wiling to merge and co-operate, creating one of the most united forces in interspecies ant conflicts.

All queens are sourced legally through collecting in areas surrounding greenhouses, and then captive bred, as well as imported through permits.

As far as we know, we are the only legal suppliers of the species, as it is illegal to import them without a permit.
