Anyone in va have any pheidole have to trade by chance. I’ll trade a Crematogaster Cersei or lineolata colony about 15 workers, I’ll appreciate any pheidole other than dentata, bicanarata is my go to species which I want the most. Prenolepis I will buy from anyone that is able to ship from va or with a permit outside of va.

Ps. Contact me by email jk of you are obviously taking to me on email you have a email to actually make a account on here. If you do not get a verification email, contact drew by looking for his contact information on here.

Permits are for the importer. You must apply for the permit (PPQ526's are free of charge) if you want the ants. I wouldn't waste my breath on Winter Ants, though. I'd go for something I can't get in my state. Like Pots.

He wants to practice on prenos before he gets pots someday because pots r expensive so you gotta be ready before you get them(you only have 1 chance to keep them). And yeah permits from state to state are free. Btw they are native here and there is even a colony of them in my backyard, there is no point getting a permit for then ig

Actually, the USDA has been very relaxed on who gets permits when compared to a few years ago. Even Mack from THA got a permit for some Arizonan ants.

Somebody asked how long does it take him to get a permit and he said it took a year communicating with USDA back and forth to get it. I hope its not that long now
