“It is the giant African harvester ant queens, which are large and coloured red, that are most prized by international ant collectors – one can fetch up to £170 ($220) on the black market, which tends to operate online.” I didn’t know ants were so desirable. It is mind blowing! It is also the first time I read about the environmental consequences for the areas from which the species are being taken, and not for the areas to which they are being introduced.
