Acromyrmex did not fly this year in California.  You'll have to wait until next season most likely.

There are no average prices.  They are not often for sale, so expect expensive.

They can go for anywhere from 50-150 depending on labor/searching, setup, and colony size.

more if the colony is big. if it has lived for over 2 years, expect around $500
