Description
Lasius flavus is a peaceful, slow-growing species best suited for patient keepers who enjoy subtle colony dynamics over flashy surface activity. Their unique subterranean behavior, gentle disposition, and aphid-farming instincts make them a fascinating contrast to surface-foraging species like L. niger or L. alienus. Ideal for naturalistic setups and long-term observation, L. flavus offers a deep look into the hidden world beneath our feet.
