I just received a colony of V. pergandei. I would totally recommend this seller, they replied promptly, and the ants were shipped safely and arrived alive. 10/10!

_________________

-Added new listings, namely C. Semitestaceus queens.

-Myrmecocystus mexicanus available, in sets of 3 queens, price is firm, pickup only. Ask about choosing which specific queens you buy! (They queens have small marking variations that make them all unique)

-Sales now active on C. anthraxV. Pergandei, and others.

Notes:

-Further Delay may apply to shipping, due to the intense heat from the summer, shipping is unwise in temps of above 95F, if you would like it shipped during heat despite my warning, DoA policy is void.

Many populations of Myrmecocystus mimicus do not make repletes.

Really, huh. Is there a reason for it? Not that I’m doubting you, just curious.

Purchased the 20 Camponotus anthrax. All twenty arrived alive and he added a bonus C. sansabeanus who lost all her workers. Package arrived on time and with an entire roll's worth of paper towel. I plan to spread C. anthrax to my family and friends. 9/10 would recommend C. anthrax mailed to me again.

I am still wondering why some M. mimicus populations don't make repletes lol.

That is so true!
