Hi Guys, Just some updates.

The system baffles me everytime, but here is an updated list of what I can import

 

Strangely, note Messor minor and Formica sanguinea?

 

Looks like someone found (and perhaps misIDed) a couple specimens decades ago which was grounds for a "native" approval.

 

Note the addition of a few Camponotus spp. as well, as well as greenhouse species of ants. I've found tropical Crematogaster in mangosteen before, so I suppose now I'm praying even harder to find some.

 

Pin post (approved species)

 

Natives:

Aphaenogaster treatae

Aphaenogaster rudis

Aphaenogaster fulva

Camponotus americanus

Camponotus castaneus

Camponotus essigi

Camponotus sayi

Camponotus subbarbatus

Camponotus laevigatus

Camponotus vicinus

Camponotus semitestaceus

Liometopum luctuosum

Manica hunteri

Manica invidia

Myrmecocystus testaceus

Nylanderia parvula

Pheidole pilifera

Pheidole californica

Proceratium silaceum

Strumigenys pulchella

Strumigenys pergandei

Temnothorax rugatulus

Temnothorax nevadensis

 

Exotics:

Monomorium pharaonis (Pharaoah Ant)

Nylanderia bourbonica (Robust Crazy Ant)

Nylanderia fulva (Rasberry Crazy Ant)

Nylanderia parvula

Nylanderia vividula 

Pheidole anastasii (Greenhouse Big-headed Ant)

Solenopsis geminata (Red Tropical Fire Ant)

Tetramorium bicarinatum

Tetramorium simillimum (sorta like bicarinatum, but bright yellow)

Paratrechina longicornis (Black Crazy Ants)

Tapinoma melanocephalum (Ghost Ants)

Monomorium floricola (Flower Ant)

Messor minor 

Formica sanguinea

Brachymyrmex obscurior (Rover Ant)

I will also add that Nylanderia vividula (I believe) was previously rejected from a permit application, but accepted when I found a paper which proved they were...present indoors in certain Canadian greenhouses?

Supposedly the process seems to favour invasive species, for one reason or another

So we’re in business?

Yup, I'll send you a DM soon

[TennesseeAnts]

I can find tons of vividula as well.

I have a question, I know this is an old post but I wanted to ask if you could get permits for Pheidole Micula. I would be interested in buying, thanks.

[Manitobant]

Pheidole micula does not fall into any of the categories required for a permit species unfortunately.

That sucks, just read Cheeto's Pheidole journal, and was curious.

[benxixi]

is this legally in US? for exporting ants ?
