Does anyone know where I might be able to catch Pheidole sometime next year or anyone currently selling Pheidole?

If you're talking nuptial flights, Pheidole tend to fly either at sunrise or sunset. Blacklighting is a great way to catch some. You may also get lucky coming up here by flipping rocks. Sometimes young colonies will bring their queens right to the surface under rocks to soak up as much heat as possible in the cooler months; That's how I caught my Pheidole micula with her nanitics this spring.

The Administrator of this forum sells a plethora of species in CA, including multiple Pheidole sp. However he has none available now, but you specified next year as a possibility as well. Here's a link to his shop, and try sending him a Private Message asking when said species will be available next year: https://www.formicul...ifornia/?p=3604
