I have dabbled in the ant keeping hobby on and off for the past few years.  Unfortunately, I will be unable to maintain this hobby in the near future due to other life priorities.
 
Earlier this year I collected the following queens/colonies: two Tetramorium immigrans (one has workers), one Crematogaster sp., and two Camponotus (one red and one black).  All queens have larvae but only one of the T. immigrans queens has workers. 
Please see the photo attached.  They were all collected in Delaware.
 
I am looking to rehouse these ants to someone who will be better at taking care of them.  I am not asking for any money.
I am located in north Delaware (near Newark).
 
I am not sure of the legality/logistics of mailing them, but if anyone is geographically close to me and also interested in these ants, please let me know.  Thanks!8fvcm59r

You can only mail them within your own state unless you or the buyer has PPQ 526 permits, which take months to attain. Best to stay local.
