Hi fellow ant keepers! I'm located in West Palm Beach, FL, and I'm looking for some queen sellers. I feel like I've read something about being able to ship ants as long as you are in a 100 mile radius, but I may be wrong. I am currently looking for every other species, as long as they are the same size or larger than a Solenopsis Invicta queen. I don't want anymore Solenopsis queens, as I already have 26 now. Thank you!

It's good to grab a hefty few for insurance. For example, when I caught a Brachymyrmex flight happening I caught 12. After a couple of weeks that went down to 6 from half of the queens dying off for no reason. If I had only caught a few they might have all died or been duds. Also it's nice to catch a few extra if you have some friends to send them to!
