That's really awesome!

Please only comment if:

 

1. You have a question about a colony.

2. You have bought something and have a review.

 

Saying something is 'awesome' to a different buyer that is not yourself adds nothing to the discussion. That is what the 'like' feature is for. You like a post if you think it's awesome.

Really excited to announce Camponotus vicinus is coming to Wilderness Anting! It has been years since South Dakota gave me another chance to keep Camponotus since my Camponotus novaeboracensis colony died. You may not be as enthusiastic as I am, but maybe you will be when they go for sale here in over a month!

I want to buy from us now...

Camponotus now in stock in South Dakota!

Wow, this has been a great start to the year! Four species of Camponotus are now available for purchase locally: Camponotus herculeanus, Camponotus modoc, Camponotus novaeboracensis, and Camponotus vicinus. I know, I don't have permits for nationwide shipping yet, but I am hopeful that the USDA can get those approved here soon. With the cuts happening in US government and the retirement of Carlos Blanco, though, things may be taking longer. Look out for a shop update video coming out soon!

Whattttt? Tetras not allowed in North Dakota?!?! How shocking!

 

Also, do you have any experience with getting permits in Canada? If it's not too much work, I might consider them.

The Dakotas are pretty strict with invasive species because of the farming, which makes sense. You don't need permits to ship between Canadian provinces, a very lucky thing considering it takes months for permits to be approved in the US.

On top of that, Tetramorium immigrans is not officially recorded in either Dakota, which we are 100% certain is bs.

Can confirm they are in North Dakota. I live in ND and have a few Tetramorium immigrants colonies near me which I’ve uploaded on iNat, also found a queen of them.
