First I would like to say, I’m really new to the forum (I have been following it for a while though). So excuse my newbie behavior I may demonstrate. Anyways, as the title says I’m looking for a Pheidole colony in California that can be shipped to me. A preferred colony size would be a colony under 100 workers, to a queen with brood.

My Ants:
(x1) Campontous semitstaceus ~20 workers, 1 Queen
(x1) Camponotus vicinus ~10 workers, 1 Queen (all black variety)
(x1) Tetramorium immigrans ~100 workers, 1 Queen
(x1) Myrmercocystus mexicanus -1 Queen
(x2) Mymercocystus mimcus -1 Queen
(x1) Mymercocystus testaceus ~45 workers, 1 Queen
