Important Info (Read Me)
These are my current ant colonies I have up for sale, I am open to trades! PM me if you are interested, ask questions in this thread. I will ship, customer pays shipping, otherwise you must be able to drive to Moreno valley, I normally meet at a designated swap zone near the town police station, as this allows for safe trading/selling for both parties.

I ship flat-rate USPS which is currently 8.30$ for most sales (price increases if it is a large order that won't fit in the small flat-rate box). You can also request special shipping such as express, or a different shipping service such as FedEx.

California residents only, valid PPQ permits accepted after April 5th, 2021.

For those who do not have an account here, or for those who would rather email me, send me an email at: Theantguy17@gmail.com

D-o-A policy: Full refund of dead ants upon receival of video evidence of deaths within 24 hours of arrival. You can also opt for a credit equal to the amount paid for dead ants, this credit can be used for future purchases with me. You can also opt for me to send a replacement if I have one available. Policy is void (as in you will not receive a refund/credit/replacement) if package is left on porch for longer than 1 hour (60 minutes). You completely control the shipping process and I will send when you decide, however I will not send standard mail on Friday-Sunday, or on any day where the temperature is particularly hot or cold (>100 F or <40 F). Express mail or services that will deliver on weekends can be sent on any day of the week. Customer (you) pays full shipping cost.

COVID-19 Delays: Due to current circumstances, I am selling ants under some specific conditions. Pickup is still accepted though contact will be limited and you must bring and wear a mask, that is firm. Shipping may be delayed if I am visiting the post office too frequently.

How did you ID that Crematogaster?

[TheAntGuy]

Never had a 100% ID, but some folks on the Reddit discord server came up with that as the best answer
