Quick question. Why is Myrmecocystus testaceus an advanced species? What is so hard about it? It's the only honeypot that lives in my area so I might buy some.

Seeing as you are living in Washington state buying these from him would be unlikely.

Sorry, I don't have permits to ship out of State.

 

I classify Myrmecocystus as advanced mainly because moving them has to be done manually in my experience, as they sometimes do not like to move in captivity, even if it means staying until the nest dries up and they all die. Moving manually is even harder with them also because of all the repletes. They are very delicate.

Well since Myrmecocystus testaceus is native to my area so I might catch a queen.

Wow. Thanks for the advice. Could I buy ants from you and ship them to my area?

You would have to get a USDA PPQ 526 permit.

And many Carnivorous plants such as: Dionea muscipula (fly trap), Sarracenia x 'Fiona' ( American Pitcher plant), Nepenthese ventrata (Tropical Pitcher plant), and Pinguicula agnata x emarginata (Butterwort) (show off your plants here)

Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores it's provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest. Proverbs 6: 6-8

No. I mean ship them to a place in california then personally ship them by usps ground to my area. It is kind of illegal but they live in my state so.. Not spreading invasives.

It's against the forum rules to ask anyone to ship anything illegally.

I'm not asking anyone to ship anything illegally. Hopefully I will have a permit soon.
