The Trichomyrmex destructor, commonly known as the “Singapore Ant” or “Destructor Ant,” is a species that definitely lives up to its bold name, not because they are mean, but because they are incredibly persistent and successful. These ants are small, brownish orange, and move with a fast, wandering energy that is fascinating to watch. They are famous for their ability to thrive in almost any environment, making them one of the most “bulletproof” species for a keeper. If you want a colony that is always active, eats just about anything, and grows with amazing speed, this is the one for you.
