Oh huh. I didn't know Pogonomyrmex occidentalis was allowed. But yes they are native to some parts of Canada.

I noticed in your signature you mention that you want to keep Carebara diversa, Myrmecocystus, and Odontomachus. Unfortunately what LC3 said applies to these species as well and unless you plan on moving or somehow acquire a permit you will not be able to keep these species.


I would not worry much about those species. Exempt carebara diversa. They would lay waste to native ants. They have the swaming ability with tiny workers. And campomotus jaw power with their super majors.

Carebara are super fragile though. It's unlikely they can survive in the wild, most of them can't even survive in captivity.


  • LC3 and Leo like this

We should respect all forms of consciousness. The body is just a vessel, a mere hull.

I understand the risk. That is why that list is more like a wish list than a I’m getting this next week list. And if I do acquire a Carabara diversa colony I would be extremely careful to not let them out. And as I said I have a friend who has been keeping ants for ever who could take them off my hands if they prove to be to hard
