I don’t live in California but if you are not able to find any starter colonies for sale you should try looking around at some parks in the evening because it is the perfect time to find Acromyrmex versicolor. I hope this helps!

Currently keeping:
Brachymyrmex patagonicus

Solenopsis invicta

Crematogaster sp.

Never seen them here in NorCal might have them in socal. I heard they fly in the early mornings not evenings.
