Ponera Coarctata - Rare
The Law: states that you can release this species into the wild in the UK
Our Request: Releasing colonies into the wild is not a practice we condone as it will be difficult and stressful for the ants to re-establish in the wild and affect localised ecosystems. Rather than letting them go, contact us and we can take them back for free.
