Greetings! This is an introduction to what ants i am currently keeping/ants that i want to keep. I have been keeping ants for over 4 years now and have been able to keep Pogonomyrmex, Camponotus, Pheidole, Solenopsis, and Monomorium. These ants have been very fun to keep and i am very exited to get to keep even more spiecies. The ants i am curently keeping are Camponotus Sansabeanus, (queen only) Solenopsis Molesta, (2 workers) and Taponoma Sessile. (queen only) i am also a gan farmer in Los Angeles, but currently am not selling anything. Let me know if you have any questions.
