Added photos in the initial post. More photos will come slowly

[spartANTS]

excelent.

thank you for what you guys doing, we are lucky. 

[Canadian anter]

Will add maybe 10 or so Formica aserva, all with host workers for 35$ each next week

[Canadian anter]

Unfortunately due to some delays the  parasitic Formica will be slighly delayed. Test tube feeders are available on the site now. However, the first order of feeders will be shipped out 2 weeks from now if any are purchased

 

Making room for some feeder insects. These will be available in 1-2 weeks

 

Surinam roaches - 1$ per roach, but are parthenogenic (females can start colonies by themselves)

Tribolium confusum - 15$ per colony

Lesser mealworms will be available as well

 

Expecting Zootermopsis nevadensis pairs throughout the month of August

[Canadian anter]

I recognize that these are more expensive that my common ants, but that is because of the limited supply. Formica podzolica, subsericea, argentea, glacialis will be available later at around 15$ per queen

 

Formica cf aserva are now available at 30$ each (includes around 5 hosts)

(A number of temporary Formica parasites will be slowly IDed) Most likely also includes Formica obscuriventris as well as some of the other Formica)

 

Obligate slave-raider Formica (subintegra, pergandei, rubicunda) are available upon request

 

Polyergus bicolor may be available upon request

 

Formica montana are now available at 25$ each

 

Formica subaenescens are now available at 20$ each

 

Formica neoclara are available, but price has not been determined,  nor have they been posted on the website. Will be done by tonight

 

Heart butts with nanitics will be available soon

I'm looking to get my first formica queen any suggestioins (not looking to spend that much)

I'm looking to get my first formica queen any suggestioins (not looking to spend that much)

I have a number of the Serviformica queens (podzolica, argentea, glacialis, subsericea) that tend to be recommended as good Formica sp for pretty cheap (Tho I don't like Formica as a beginner species myself)

What is an "alpha form"?

[Canadian anter]

What is an "alpha form"?

Thick legs. Beta form latipes have thinner legs.


BTW I recognize these as more expensive than usual. I would like to point out that they are already all introduced and that also Lasius latipes appear to be listed as vulnerable

[spartANTS]
