Hey everyone I am having an ant adoption event where you can adopt certain ants for free. The following ants are free. Mystery ant species with 100 workers, brachymyrmex colony with 200 workers, Pheidole navigans with 250 workers. I am giving all of these colonies away for free in the hopes that I may make a new friend.

You can't possibly be serious. Also I can really do without the "mystery" thing again.

Always try new things, even if its hard, hard is not impossible. We are smart and it's good to be smart but not too smart for your own good.

All I know about the mystery ants is that they are like the smallest ant species I have ever seen.

"Mystery Ants" sounds quite unprofessional for a seller. Get them identified before selling AND post pictures. Then we'll talk.

I agree, you need pics to prove if they are alive and what kind of condition they are in before selling. If you can't pinpoint the species, at least ask to get it ID'ed...

Any sales post that has "mystery" in it is screaming SCAM in caps lock

He may or may not have those colonies, we don't know for sure, but what we do know is that he'll get into trouble if he ships them out-of-state without a permit...

idk if he's Preny or not, but he's convincing me that he's a scammer. Drew does know about him though.

They probably have some dead queens and workers saved up so they can put them in the test tube

Nah, probably carbon dioxide from their breath when they excitedly pack it up to scam the buyer.
