POLYGYNOUS VEROMESSOR PERGANDEI QUEEN ONLY!!!

 

AVAILABLE IN LIMITED QUANTITY SETS:

 

2 queen set $10

3 queen set $20

4 queen set $60

5 queen set $75

6 queen set $120

 

All of theses were dug from a SINGLE CHAMBER and not combined after the fact. 

 

Have a few with more than 6 queens if interested, PM for details.

 

Don't believe? Here's a few instagram videos. I believe this behavior is region specific:

https://www.instagra...19925702401945/

 

Cannot guarantee if they are polygynous (maybe pleometrosis), but two years ago I found a 4 queen pergandei in one chamber, and they are all still doing amazing with thousands of workers:

https://www.instagra...g_web_copy_link

 

These are a desert species and do not hibernate.

 

Shipping available to CA residents only ($15 UPS ground). If you have not purchased from me before you must show proof of CA residency (ie CA DL).

 

Comes in plastic collection container and starter seeds per request as well as a care sheet with instructions on initial rearing.

I'm super interested in the 2 queen set. Are they a good beginner species and do they hibernate?

Just updated entire GAN listing on first page. Ever since the quarantine sales have gone up, and most of the lower priced colonies are out. 

 

I have, however, collected a lot this season, and they will be restocked soon - at low prices (I know you kids love that)

MORE 2020 SINGLE QUEEN SALES

 

 

Just got back from a three day long trip in the Eastern Sierras looking for that undescribed modoc (https://www.formicul...mp-ca-5-4-2017/, no lucky unfortunately).

 

Spent wayyy too much on gas and lodging, so hoping to recuperate some of it back. 

 

Collected a few Camponotus modoc as well as this interesting mostly black with a tint of red Camponotus vicinus. These were all found at 8000-9000ft of elevation.

 

Shipping available, CA residents only.

 

Camponotus modoc

3 for $30

 

Camponotus vicinus (black red variety)

2 for $30
