Hey everyone!

 

     just wondering if anyone happened to be selling any Myrmecocystus Mexicanus queens. Haven't been able to find any of these girls, so just wondering if anyone happens to have any that they are willing to sell. 

 

Thanks for reading

I know. Just wondering if anyone had some from last year or just was planing on catching any.

Ah thought you meant fresh queens. Sorry

They haven't flown yet, single queens at this time are likely duds. I have small colonies and can ship if you want them

Yes! i have seen your website and am planing on getting some CA-02 queens in the future. for the myrmecocystus mexicanus, i'm looking for ether a single queen or a colony with 5 workers max. i know this is early for this species, but just for future reference, i will buy them.

5-20 workers, in a cup nest but I can move them out into a tube

I can give you a 1 worker dud colony when you get ca02.

ahhh, yes. i've seen that one. sadly, the price is too steep for me. if you get any single queens with just a few workers, let me know.

thanks and sorry for any inconvenience. 

[SleepyAsianAnter]

price is negotiable   , very negotiable

[PetsNotPests]

Is it? the price is $120 right? I'm sorry, but the most i could pay for them right now would be half that...i know that's pretty low.

I know that cocdeshijie has some colonies, but if your on that low of a budget then you might have to find some cheaper colonies since they haven't flown this year yet. Good luck!

[PetsNotPests]

Just to let everyone know, this post is still active. anyone that is in CA and selling this species, i will buy them. a small colony or a single queen would be best.

Is the queen currently inactive? Is she fertile? Would she lay eggs in the future? 

[SleepyAsianAnter]

Dud is dud. If you get it you get to watch her one worker die of old age as the queen slowly dies over the course of several months

[cocdeshijie]

yes any mexicanus now with less than 5 workers are likely duds

[SleepyAsianAnter]

yes any mexicanus now with less than 5 workers are likely duds

 

they can have less than 5 workers, what matters right now is if they have brood of any stage, if not, then they're duds
