Read Before Buying:

Listings made available on this page are for California residents and those with valid permits. I typically ship using USPS Priority, but other methods can be arranged if you wish. Tracking your package is your own responsibility once I provide you with the tracking number. Picking up your order can happen in Fountain Valley. I accept payments through PayPal, Venmo, and cash. If you are paying with PayPal, you must use the Friends and Family option. Likewise with Venmo, do not select the "Get a full refund" slider. Message me if you have offers (trades may happen) or are interested. Ask your questions here in this thread.

 

DOA Policy:

You must provide picture evidence of the ants being dead within 1 hour of arrival for a 50% refund excluding the shipping.

All updates to the list will be done to the original post.  If this thread gets too long, I will just reply with the update and a link to the original post.

Pictures will come soon.  I'm just too tired and lazy to do it right now.

 

So, they'll be up when you've updated your journals?

 

Oh, he actually did it..

Do you sell any other mantids?

At the current time, no, but I do plan on getting more ooths to hatch within the next few months.

When will you get more mexicanus to sell?

When they fly again.  Nothing has happened in CA yet for rains.

Must be pretty convenient. It rains and queens are found the next day. Here you can never tell one way or the other.

It's convenient when it actually rains, haha.  Nothing is predicted for monsoon activities in the desert for a while as of now.

At least for you when it actually rains, it really rains. Here it sprinkles every once and while and pours other times, each time a different length and amount of rain. Most small showers don't bring nuptial flights, and summer can be fairly humid, which could also trigger flights even if it didn't rain.

No, thank you for your interest though.

Too bad there are no Myrmecoystus available, I would be interested if you did.

I might be selling my M. mimicus in their THA Mini Hearths.  I'll be checking this weekend to update the listing here.

Ouch, we will have to pay for the Mini Hearhs...I can't afford that. I only have enough saved for like, the shipping and the actual ants if I were to buy.
Edit: I am going to look for some spare cash I guess.

Are the fragilis still available for purchase?

[Zeiss]

As of now, they are not.  I'll be checking this weekend if there are any I think are healthy enough to sell.

[M_Ants]

K. Hoping to catch my own but doesn't look like I will be able to. You are one of the only people who have them.

[TechAnt]

Yay, have some spare cash now. Zeiss, for your M. Mimicus I have a good chance of ending up buying them.
if they go for sale. If these go up for sale, could you PM me about it?
