I'm looking for any species of Formica I don't yet have, so please shoot me a PM if you have something to offer. Both claustral and parasitic species will be accepted. Particularly looking for species like Formica francoeuri, Formica ravida, and Formica perpilosa.

 

Only taking sales from California, unless the vendor has a permit.

 

Additionally, you could also let me know if you are able to obtain any Formica queens later in the year and I'll probably PM you once the time comes to work something out.

I have come across parasitic formica queens in the past. I don't see them often (only when I go out camping in certain forests). If I come across any this year I'll let you know and ship you a few!

Yes please! If you happen to still be interested in Camponotus essigi or other ants I might have for sale/trade by then, I'd be more than happy to exchange some.
