I would like a colony of Strumigenys because they are a very cool ant and are native to PA, but they are very hard to find. Please tell me if you are able to find a colony and or sell one

Nobody in North America has succeeded in keeping ants from that genus. If you do find them, be sure to only capture foundress queens, since a mature colony will surely die under our care, which would be a shame because of how difficult they are to find.

If you've enjoyed using my expertise and identifications, please do not create undue ecological risk by releasing your ants. The environment which we keep our pet insects is alien and oftentimes unsanitary, so ensure that wild populations stay safe by giving your ants the best care you can manage for the rest of their lives, as we must do with any other pet.

Exotic ants are for those who think that vibrant diversity is something you need to pay money to see. It is illegal to transport live ants across state lines.
