I’m in Nebraska and am wanting a Pogonomyrmex occidentalis colony very bad. If you or someone you know happens to have one, please let me know! I may not check the forms too often so if I don’t respond try leaving a comment on one of my YT videos, as I instantly get notified by those. (Channel name = MacroAnts)

Thanks!

I have never seen any ants that look like Pogonomyrmex occidentalis here in Nebraska. I also do live in Omaha, so that could be why as the only records of them being found is far south west.

Yeah, Pogonomyrmex don’t live in Nebraska.

As I stated in my message, there are records of them being found in south west part of Nebraska.

I will get to see lots in April. I'm going to Oklahoma!

Edit: Also I guess Pogonomermex are found in Tennessee too.

Yes, Pogonomyrmex occidentalis are most likely found in arid regions of nebraska. More likely towards the western side of the state. I find them frequently in western South Dakota.
