Harvester Ants - Messor Structor
Reaper ants - Messor Structor (Steppe Reaper) are an excellent choice for a beginner myrmekipper.
This is a very easy-to-keep species that does not require wintering, and it is not necessary to give fresh feed insects.
These wonderful and rather large ants can live in almost any formicarium, they are not demanding in care and forgive beginners most of the mistakes.
Reapers need seeds and regular moisture, it is advisable to give protein once a week. Also, a drinking bowl in the arena will not hurt, but with a sponge or cotton wool, because reapers can drown in open water.

In addition, the formicarium will allow you to conduct a number of studies and experiments, and also lift the curtain of secrecy about the processes occurring in real anthills.
After purchasing the kit, you will not need to spend money on maintaining the anthill regularly, the costs will be rare and very small. The ant farm is very economical in this regard, despite the decent initial costs.
If suddenly an ant escapes, you should not be afraid that your apartment will turn into an anthill... if the ant cannot be returned to the farm within three days, it will die, and will not create a new colony.
