Born from a hobby.
Built on trust.

From a handful of nuptial-flight captures in 2018 to a trusted supplier for ant shops across the world — this is our story.

It started with a passion, not a plan

We stumbled into ant keeping in 2018 with nothing more than curiosity and the knowledge we could piece together from forums, Formiculture threads and social media. What began as a personal passion soon became a way to fund our collection of rare ants.

When the pandemic brought the world to a standstill, interest in the hobby surged. We began selling our personal colonies and nuptial-flight captures online, and the response was overwhelming. That was the moment Ants Subang was truly born, in 2020.

The leap overseas

By 2022 we were gaining real traction abroad. We hesitated at first. The years between 2018 and 2019 had taught us how risky international shipping could be. But we saw the long-term potential and took the leap.

The transition was not easy. Overseas buyers often needed support we could not always provide, so we pivoted away from individual sales and began supplying ant shops and sellers abroad instead. That one decision changed everything.

We are like ants: we never give up, and we never tire.
