PRICE LOWERED TILL AUGUST 10th!!! 

Hi, you can buy multiple types of ant queens from this store. Shipping is only in California, and you can buy them at this link: https://hymenocraft.company.site/
The shipping details are all there, and basically it will take around 1 week for them to arrive. For an additional cost, you can ship them via USPS Priority Mail Express, which will take 3 days. If they arrive dead, it is a 70% refund excluding shipping if you send a picture with 24 hours of their arrival. Hope you enjoy them, and since there are only 3 now for sale, they will run out soon. You can email me at zacharia.bahcivan@gmail.com

I'm pretty sure those aren't Formica Rufibarbis?

The queen has the characteristic red markings on the back; it is just hard to see.

That coloration is present on nearly all of the F. fusca-group species in California and other states. It is no indicator of species.

I checked all the other Formica species present in California and none bear resemblance other than Formica rufibarbis. Anyway, I have changed it to not available until I can figure out more. Thanks for informing me, though.
