(To keep Limes Happy I will of course add this, Beware They can sting and bite but they shouldn't hurt, I have never ever been stung by my Myrmica Rubra's, as Long as your not allergic to any bites you will be fine, Rock on Myrmica rubra's!!!!!!!!)

i currently have a myrmica rubra colony that i have collected this year which i have started a journal on, they are amazing ants i love this species they are hardy have multiple queens and are so interesting there behavior is so different to most ants i know, they really do make a great starter ant also once they become comfortable in there surroundings there aggressiveness towards prey starts to show and is fascinating to watch. so i say get Myrmica Rubra ;D

Myrmica rubra would be a fantastic choice. I had a colony of them, and it was my most successful ever. They're very active, and easy to keep.
I have been stung by a Myrmica species (probably ruginodis) before. It is sore and itchy, but I would say less painful than a nettle sting.

I have been stung by what I believe to Be Myrmica Scabrinodis in nantwich (Manchester) While on holiday, The sting lasts for 30 minutes roughly if it's a good one but I don't mind it, they only stung me cause I thought It was a mole hill and rested my foot on it while fishing >.<
