Added Lasius neoniger and Lasius brevicornis to the shop page. Hopefully I can get some decent pictures sometime.


Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest. -Proverbs 6: 6-8

My Nationwide Ant Shop Here I have PPQ-526 permits to ship Lasius nationwide!

Formica cf. ravida have been added! This is a great opporitunity for south dakotan ant keepers to get their hands on elusive formica parasitic queens!

Good afternoon ant-keepers.
I am very excited to announce I have PPQ-526 permits to ship Lasius species listed on my shop nationwide! I know there are others that sell these species, but south dakota has some pretty unique genetics in queens, such as the ability for them to lay eggs before diapause, ensuring a quicker start to a new colony (my Lasius neoniger and americanus have larvae already). Also, it supports a small business! If you are interested in something from my shop, please PM me and respond to this post, I would love to talk to you about the ants! I can even let you pick out your colony from the ones I have. Here are the states I can currently ship them too.

 

Lasius neoniger

It’s funny you can ship to MD and NC, but not Virginia. I can basically see Maryland from my backyard.

I know it is funny. I'm still waiting for more states to confirm my application, and will update this accordingly.

Eight new states have approved PPQ-526 permits for me to ship Lasius to them! There is a limited amount of time to get your colonies before winter closes down South Dakota  :cold: . The new maps are attached below:
