I know it is illegal to ship ants across borders, but is it illegal to personally transport an ant across a state border (USA)?
If so is it also illegal to transport an ant species that lives in both states, across the border from one to the other?
(Example: Taking Caponotus vicinus from California to Oregon)

The laws are about transporting which includes shipping and any other way of taking something across State lines.

Even if the species is native to both states? Can you get a permit of some sort? I am just curious after I read a certain thing.

If I remember correctly, it is illegal to transport ants accross borders even if the species exists in that other state. I don't think you can get a permit and I'd imagine if you could, it would be very pricey and long.
Is there any particular reason? Maybe a friend in another state wanted a colony or something?

Doesn't matter what species it is, and whether it is native to both States. Getting a permit is not easy.
