What do you guys think the state in the U.S.A that has the most diversity for ants is ?
As a list: Florida, Arizona, California, Colorado, Louisiana, and North Carolina are the top six (in order) for having the most genera on Antweb.

Arizona rules when it comes to ant diversity.
I agree I just wanted to see watch you guys thought.
When I think of diversity, genus comes to mind. Does Arizona beat out Florida for the amount of genera in a state, or just species?Arizona rules when it comes to ant diversity.

There is not a list, I simply looked at the genus count for each individual state.

live near border of each state so you can see each state's own diversity while not driving very far.
My brother in formicidae, we were just having a fun discussion and learning some things between us.Just a couple of comments about this type of thread;
Please stop using other sources to provide answers to questions. I’m more interested in what you know personally, not what you’ve heard or read. I know from personal observation that Antweb is a poor source of information about ants in my area.
Why so much interest in ants of other states, when you can’t cross state lines to bring them home without a license?
There is a chat function on this forum that might be a more appropriate place to have these types of one or two line discussions.
I know from personal experience that there are ten genera of ants where I live. I can find eight of them on my own property and two of them are found nearby in forests or sandier soil. Tell me what you actually know about your own area and I’ll know your answer has some credibility. This goes for all your answers on this forum.
