I am seeking samples of male and female alates, as well as workers, of the following species:
Camponotus pennsylvanicus
Myrmecocystus mendax
Formica obscuripes

Those are the three I am most interested in, but I also may be interested in specimens from within any of those genera. I would prefer to buy all the specimens from a single species from the same person to cut down on the hassle. I would also prefer them to be preserved in 70% ethanol or isopropanol

I've got three pennsylvanicus queens I could send you. They are still alive but 100% unmated so they're going to die anyways. I could kill and preserve them for you.

I have several C. pennsylvanicus workers, a few males, and a fragmented queen already pinned out if you'd like me to send them to you. I also have several members of the genus Formica and a lot more species of Camponotus, including Camponotus sexguttatus, the first record from the Florida Keys at that. I have a massive collection of pinned ants.

I am mostly looking for species not found in Florida (Excluding C pennsylvanicus) as I am using them to submit to the FL DoA as voucher specimens so I an legally import various species. As Florida requires an additional permit with more stringent requirements then the standard APHIS 526 form.

I already have a C pennsylvanicus female alate, but I would be highly interested in males if you could secure them

I have stigmatomma males.  And an unidentified camponotus queen. I have some other ants, too, like stenamma and pheidole, if you're interested. They are discolored though, since they've been floating in alcohol. Not ants, but I do have some beetles, moths, and a dobsonfly female. I know it's kinda random, but I can send you some if it helps.

I don't have a Myrmecocystus mendax, but I do have a Myrmecocystus mexicanus queen that is recently dead you can have for cost of shipping.
