Cryptic Ants

Our Cryptic Ants collection features species that are masters of blending in, hiding in plain sight within their environments. These ants favor hidden lives, making them perfect for those who enjoy observing subtle, secretive behaviors. Imagine setting up a habitat where your ants burrow deep or disappear into natural textures, adding a layer of mystery to your setup.

Need the right nest for these shy explorers? Browse our soils and substrates to create a natural, camouflaged landscape. Explore more in our ponera care guide for examples on care for cryptic species.

For the most part, due to the difficulty of raising cryptic ants, most of these ants will only be provided on special request.

You may ask for any species in Canada on request, and we will likely be able to provide it.
