I don't think I ever posted an intro, so here goes.
I am a 58 year old lady from the high desert of California, and I've been anting since I was 14! Didn't always get it right, but I spent years devoted to giving it the old college try, learning about ants and going after that Pogonomyrmex queen ( not believing she was five feet down, yeah, I learned eventually! ).
After years of being a dummy and digging up and wrecking the lives of my beloved ants, I realized that new queens were the way to go.
Now all these years later, the miracle of ant buying and selling through the mail and online has made me a very happy anter 
I never would have believed I could just buy a colony online. Amazing!!
I love the Pogonomyrmex fam best of all, even after all the (well deserved) stings through the years, as I assaulted the poor girls (with good - if selfish - intentions).
I am now surrounded by ants, and that is exactly how I like it.
A big thank you to those who have sold me the beauties I have right now, and be sure, I will be buying more!

, Ponera pennsylvanica, and Pheidole morrisi!
