Yeah paraponera clavata aren’t found in the US and are completely illegal to own. There are some species that are similar to bullet ants found in America, but California is unfortunately lacking in the large ponerine department.

Yeah that’s why i said similar to bullet ants. While not true bullet ants by any means, most large ponerines are quite similar in terms of lifestyle and behaviour.

It is gonna be a looooong time before anyone in the US gets P. clavata and California will be the last state to allow it.
