Messor Bouvieri (Harvester Ant) Messor are a larger species with major workers, they are mainly seed eaters but a top up of protein via insects is always appreciated. Queens are light sensitive so total darkness is required. Red acetate seems un-effective for this sp from my own personal experience. • Humidity requirements: 50 – 60% • Temperature requirements: 18 – 26 °C • Hibernation: November-February at 15°C • Suggested housing: Acrylic, soil. • Nutrition: They mainly eat seeds which they grind down to make ant bread. Sugars from honey or sugar water. Protein from insect sources. • Colony size: 1-10,000 • Queen size: 14–18 mm • Worker size: 3–9 mm • Major size: 9–14 mm • Monogyne/polygyne: Monogyne (One Queen per colony) **If you are buying outside of the UK please read our FAQ page and ensure you are happy to accept these terms BEFORE purchase -https://www.theantlady.co.uk/faq
