    Species according to states/cities/islands.

The first half will include the Eastern Coast of the United States. Second half will include the Western/Southern Coast of the United States. Finally the Central States will have its own section as well as small city states and islands. This thread is to help ant keepers identify species easier according to what unique or cryptics are in their state as identifying these ants can be difficult. This list is not done yet. Of course these documentations and sightings may not be correct and rarities between states may also be incorrect. WIth help from, CatsnAnts and AntsAreUs-Species list with Indiana species. Ferox_Formicae with South Carolina,-T be concluded because ferox seemed have broke the messaging system with the large size of the message he sent through.
