Leafcutter Bear Breeches Leaves Bundle - Fresh

Leafcutter Bear Breeches Leaves Mix - Fresh

After years of testing different leaves we are now able to grow in-house, one of our leafcutter's firm favourites, the broad, supple and easy to cut leaves of Acanthus mollis, also known as "Bear Breeches".

It is an excellent source of foliage for your growing leafcutter ant colony. We find these to be a firm favourite amongst Atta spp. especially although Acromyrmex spp. are also very fond of it too. 

This fresh bundle, directly harvested from our grounds is extremely handy during the winter months as this grows readily during the Winter and Spring when other sources of food become scarce. 

It is recommended to offer your leafcutter ants a variety of plants to ensure that they are able to thrive properly. In most cases, colonies will prefer fresh leaves over dried alternatives but we find that a combination of the both ensures that the colonies do not become as 'bored' or picky over one single source.

One can be assured that these natural, organic & free of pesticides leaves will help your colony thrive.
