Purplebacks all sold. 

 

If you guys want to hold something, especially in large quantities, you must pay first. I can't hold a large amount of queens indefinitely while others want to buy. Not trying to be difficult! These are going fast and I get lots of requests to "hold" them, but then said buyer will ghost and never purchase or flake. 

[nurbs]

Everything sold out. There are a few Mexicanus and Navajo (like 3 and 5) on hold, if the buyers flake I will put them back on the market. Thanks for playing.

 

Should have dug up more queens haha.

 

@dspdrew has some left as of this post. He and I went to similar spots.

When are Acromyrmex going up?

[nurbs]

Haha dunno. Probably not single queens. Wanna see if these gals have fungus. If they do will most likely sale as colonies.

 

EDIT: Actually Jeff if there are queens that do not have fungus I'll do single queen sales, cuz I know many of you have fungus.

 

When are Acromyrmex going up?
