They are orange in color and have a large size, which is rare among lifting ants. They can lay fertile eggs and male ants, and the size of Silva's lifting ants is smaller than that of Bichler's lifting ants. The Xixi's tail-lifting house ant is a single queen ant. A mature colony consists of one queen ant and several dozens to several hundred worker ants. It is an omnivorous and vegetarian ant that feeds on plant nectar, nectar secretion or small insect carcasses in the wild. They are found in low to medium altitude mountainous areas, nesting in tree branches or decaying wood. They are very small in size and their tracks can be easily overlooked. Easy to keep, feed as the main food, can also use sugar water, cockroaches as food, use plaster ants nests, test tube for rearing. Humidity should be maintained at a high level and water towers should be provided. The growth rate of the colony is slow and the population of mature colony is relatively small. |
