No need to copy and paste the message right below.  

 

Read the buying page and you'll see the range of workers he sells and gives an explanation as to size of workers.  Look up yourself if the species he has available are polymorphic.  Everything available is on the first page.

For anyone who is interested, I accidentally dug this brand new colony up. It is most likely from last season, since the workers are still nanitics.
 
Pogonomyrmex californicus (coastal all-red variety) [60]
Size: Medium
Stinging: Yes
Hibernation required: No
Experience level: Beginner

i hear that camponotus vicinus is one of the most common house pests 

 

Its a common house pest in some areas because it invades the home looking for food or water, but it normally nests outside and generally doesn't cause any more damage than argentine ants would.


“If an ant carries an object a hundred times its weight, you can carry burdens many times your size.”  ― Matshona Dhliwayo

 

My Journals:

Pogonomyrmex subdentatus

Camponotus Vicinus

Camponotus sansabeanus

Tetramorium (sp)
