I personally have a few colonies and queens but I am looking to get a Solenopsis invicta queen also. That and a Camponotus castaneus. But if anyone has any queens in TN, feel free to let me know. I am hoping I haven't missed either of their nuptial flights.

Keeping:
Camponotus subbarbatus
Camponotus pennsylvanicusx3 (founding)
Dorymyrmex bureni
Formica pallidefulva x3
Formica subsericea x4
Tetramorium immigrans

Have kept many other ant species but now keep over 100 tarantulas and other inverts! Mantids, centipedes, and scorpions to name a few 😁

Those are the two colonies I have, and you haven't missed their flights. C castaneus are flying at night at about this time of year after a good rain (a blacklight would help you catch one). And as for S. invicta they are still flying now, but they're everywhere, keep looking and you'll come across a fire ant queen eventually.
