You'll need a permit, otherwise you can't.

Ants are Pets, not Pests.

Yes and No. Any species either you or the other person needs to have a permit from the USDA. However, Pogonomyrmex occidentalis I think can be shipped over state borders without a permit, so I someone in Georgia has Pogonomyrmex, wouldn't hurt to see if you can buy them.
