Hey everyone, figured I would start this as the easy way to find our state for trading and selling.
There are two species that I'm trying to find myself but I work so much I can never get out at the right time during a nuptial flight. I have a few species that I could trade but what I'm looking for are Camponotus castaneus and/or Solenopsis richteri or S. invicta. I have a couple species of Formica I could trade as well as Camponotus pennsylvanicus. I also have a decent-sized tetramorium colony that I am looking to either sell or trade possibly. I'm having to move so I do need to downsize my collection which also brings me to say I also collect tarantulas. I have over 100 so if by chance you are interested in tarantulas as well let me know as I am selling some of those also LOL

Would you be interested in captive bred Aphaenogaster rudis?

Guess what I just got! A Camponotus castaneus queen! She looks dead though. Found her in a pool.

I will trade you a Stigmatomma pallipes colony with 2 workers and a queen for 5 single Colobopsis impressa queens. They must have taken their wings off though. Could you do that?

A queen with no wings is no guarantee of being fertilized. I had a colobopsis impressa colony where the queen never released her wings. And I had a camponotus nearcticus queen that ripped off her wings and never laid a single egg for nearly a year and then one day, I found her dead.

I know, but I hate it when queens keep their wings because the wings get stuck to the walls of the test tube, especially if there is condensation.
