If you want Pogonomyrmex, just wait for Ant_Dude to set up shop. Queens are way cheaper than THA queens, and he has experience with shipping, so my suggestion would be wait for A_D, unless you want Pogonomyrmex specifically from Cali...

He is selling queens but I hear they're not that difficult to found, and I'm sure he could provide insight into how to found them as he has a 30-40 worker colony of them. Ant_Dude is probably your best bet...

Californians still require a permit to order P. occidentalis. You can apply here: CDFA - Plant Health - Permits and Regulations
