I have two Camponotus maritimus and five Formica argentea colonies for sale. They all have their first batch of newly eclosed workers. All colonies have about 1-4 workers.
 
Camponotus maritimus colonies are $35 each. This is a large black species that is quite easy to care for and feed on sugar water and insects.
 
Formica argentea colonies are $25 each. This is my personal favorite ant species-they are active, fast growing, and easy to care for-yet they are far from tiny (full size workers get quite large) and have a shiny hue to them. They will take sugar water, insects, and just about anything else.
 
As per California law I will only ship within the state of California-I can also meet locally within the Bay Area to sell. No refunds provided.
 
Shipping is $8. Minimum purchase of two colonies. I can give discounts for bulk purchases, message me for details.

If you have PPQ526, I can sell to you by providing a copy of the permit in the shipping box.

 

I've got Nancy's private message, thanks Swirly.

Still available. Both species are excellent for starters.

Pm him. (I think that is best) He might not have anymore(Doubt it), and that may be why he isn’t answering.
