Hello does anyone have any species of leafcutter ant for sale preferably atta but Acromyrmex would work please tell me the colony size, cost, etc. I've always wanted to keep leafcutter ants but have had difficulty sourcing them I am in Texas so I know they are legal thank you!

I have them in my area but they are kinda rare here so my chances with wild queens are slim

You can always look up the location of some colonies on inaturalist and plan a camping trip to that area around the time they fly. I also know people catch them in bulk here so try contacting some active users or use the search bar to discover where they went in the past.

In the top right corner there is a search bar. You can try searching something like Texas Atta, or Texas Leafcutter, or something.
