I will try to get a PPQ 526 in August, I Probably will only get a couple of species. Colobopsis will not be long to get approved right?
Since Camponotus yogi is quite similar to ltos of Colobopsis sp.
Trachymyrmex will probably be easy as well. Since they is just 1 state north.....


Good luck trying to get a non native leaf cutting ant. There is a reason why nobody has trachys here or Atta. It’s gonna be a while till we see stuff like that out here.
Currently: Considering moving to Australia
Reason: Myrmecia

So that means no permits for under 18 people?

You can if you're under 18 but you need to put it under your parent's name.

It's pretty alright. Not too hard. California is strict though so for you guys it would be hard but for most other ant keepers it should be fine.
