Added Lasius neoniger and Lasius brevicornis to the shop page. Hopefully I can get some decent pictures sometime.

Formica cf. ravida have been added! This is a great opporitunity for south dakotan ant keepers to get their hands on elusive formica parasitic queens!

Good afternoon ant-keepers.
I am very excited to announce I have PPQ-526 permits to ship Lasius species listed on my shop nationwide! I know there are others that sell these species, but south dakota has some pretty unique genetics in queens, such as the ability for them to lay eggs before diapause, ensuring a quicker start to a new colony (my Lasius neoniger and americanus have larvae already). Also, it supports a small business! If you are interested in something from my shop, please PM me and respond to this post, I would love to talk to you about the ants! I can even let you pick out your colony from the ones I have. Here are the states I can currently ship them too.

It’s funny you can ship to MD and NC, but not Virginia. I can basically see Maryland from my backyard.

I know it is funny. I'm still waiting for more states to confirm my application, and will update this accordingly.

Eight new states have approved PPQ-526 permits for me to ship Lasius to them! There is a limited amount of time to get your colonies before winter closes down South Dakota . The new maps are attached below:

It'd be great if you could get California on the list for L. brevicornis since they're also native here, I'd definitely buy them from you if they get approved for my state.

I currently have a pending permit for California, but it has yet to be approved. I hope that by spring time all of my permits for this genus will have been approved. I have noticed that permit application slows down in winter, so there should be more time for reviewing mine.

A lot of questions have come up surrounding the topic of my PPQ-526 permits for the genus of Lasius, and I want to attempt to clarify things. I have applied for permits for all 48 continuous states in the US. The majority of them have been sent to the states for review, and the majority of those have been approved. I am still waiting on some however, and will update the map as these get approved.
