Hello everyone.
I have had an interest in ant keeping ever since childhood.
I am particularly fascinated with Camponotus Floridanus and Dorymyrmex Bureni.
I work as an LPN for a local VA clinic and it's sad to say that I have not had much luck or time trying to acquire a queen of the above mentioned species.
If anyone who has kept these species before, hit me up. I am currently looking to buy a fresh queen of either species I mentioned (preferably Camponotus Floridanus). Thanks for reading everyone, and I look forward to great conversations.

Well I can't help you with finding a queen since I'm outside your state. I just wanted to say welcome to the forums!

Ty very much :)
I feel confident that I will eventually find those two particular species either by nuptial flight or another collector on this forum.
