I’m kinda new to ant keeping I started this year and I have three pavement ant queens all with about 30 eggs and I was wondering if I could buy your tapinoma sessile or tetramorium immigrans if so how much are they?


Never mind actually.

’Tetramorium immigrans’ and ‘pavement ants’ are the same thing.

Keeping:

Tetramorium immigrans

Formica cf. pallidefulva, cf. incerta, cf. argentea

Formica cf. aserva, cf. subintegra

Pogonomyrmex occidentalis

Pheidole bicarinata

Lasius neoniger, brevicornis
