they don't allow shipping pogonomyrmex around even though that's like the main state that pogonomyrmex occidentalis are in

no..........., also you can keep and touch solenopsis invicta if they didn't come from a quarantine zone.

I ONLY ACCEPT SHIPPING

Xyloni barely flew this year in Cali, so chances are you’ll have to wait.

that's so true. You need a permit for some reason to actually ship Pogonomyrmex occi into cali

 

That permit is actually pretty easy compared to the standard PPQ permits. It usually comes back in 1-3 days to my understanding.

You can ship other Solenopsis within state just fine, as long as they are not S. invicta. California has plenty of other Solenopsis.

Can we all agree that you can’t buy anything but a piece of wood in Cali without being taken to jail. I mean even that piece of wood that grew in your back yard for decades is illegal.

true

Xyloni had very strong flights in the suburbs this year.


Hi there! I went on a 6 month or so hiatus, in part due, and in part cause of the death of my colonies. 

However, I went back to the Sierras, and restarted my collection, which is now as follows:

Aphaenogaster uinta, Camponotus vicinus, Camponotus modoc, Formica cf. aserva, Formica cf. micropthalma, Formica cf. manni, Formica subpolita, Formica cf. subaenescens, Lasius americanus, Manica invidia, Pogonomyrmex salinus, Pogonomyrmex sp. 1, Solenopsis validiuscula, & Solenopsis sp. 3 (new Sierra variant).

Sorry, but do you mean 2020 or 2021? I thought ants weren't really active in January, but I guess it doesn't get that cold here.

2020 probably. you know this time of the year, getting used to saying this year instead of next year and all

Sorry for the confusion, yes, the year of 2020.
