To anyone that has kept multiple different sp. of Myrmecia, what sp. do you recommend? What are easiest, most aggressive, fastest growing, and just coolest!

I havent kept myrmecia before but most of the time, ant species that strictly can only be found in forests, natural surroundings, are usually more sensitive and die more easily when kept as pets. On the other hand, ant that likes to be around your kitchen, lives inside cracks, harsh enviroments, invasive species (not encouraging you to keep ants that are NOT native to your country, dont do that), and are usually found everywhere are the hardy and very suitable for begginers. These are species like lasius niger, yellow crazy ants, pavement ants, ghost ants, and many more. Just be sure to do your research beforehand and make sure you have the correct setup and that you are willing and able to take care of them. Good luck! :)

Myrmecia should only be kept by experienced antkeepers, and the best Bull ant under your description is myrmecia pilusula
