Hello! I'm new to this so I hope I'm doing this correctly, well new to the site and new to the hobby but I've been fascinated by ants for a long time and want to finally take the plunge and start raising my own. Tetramorium Immigrans seems like a good fit for me and I suppose they are fairly easy to find outside but I am a bit intimidated by catching wild ants when I don't have much experience, I've seen some listings here for queens with a small number of workers but none within the past couple years or on the east coast, if anyone is selling tetras and will ship within/to NY (possibly pick up depending on location?) let me know! I am also willing to look into other species if you are selling a "beginner" species. Thanks! :]

Tetra flight are JUST starting in NY. I caught a few queens yesterday around 5-6am. I definitely recommend trying to catch your own. There's just something special about finding and raising a queen versus buying one.

Ahh, I've been out of town visiting family, my timing is always terrible. Well, I'll still be searching when I get back regardless. Thanks for the heads up!
