SW VA has a ton of the cooler northern ants due to the Appalachian mountains, like A. picea and a lot of Formica. Most VA keepers are clustered in NoVa, Richmond, and Virginia Beach however so it'll be difficult to find someone to go anting with.

Welcome back. I was wondering where you’d gone.

I appreciate it. Work was crazy during hibernation period as I started a new job but I’m ready for the nuptial flights now!
In Jesus,
Jonny
