I have three PPQ-526 permits with 50+ species on them.

I am looking to buy:

Aphaenogaster tennesseensis (solo queens or queens with hosts; no mature colonies)

Aphaenogaster floridana

Aphaenogaster ashmeadi

Aphaenogaster lamellidens

Camponotus americanus

Dorymyrmex bureni

Pheidole morrisii

Pheidole pilifera

Pheidole dentata

Pseudomyrmex pallidus (with workers)
Trachymyrmex septentrionalis

Formica neogagates
Formica argentea
Formica aserva
Formica difficilis
Formica dolosa
Formica incerta
Formica exsectoides

Formica integra

Formica neorufibarbis

Formica obscuriventris

Formica pallidefulva
Formica pergandei
Formica postoculata
Formica rubicunda
Formica subaenescens
Formica subsericea

Myrmica spatulata

I am in Virginia, as my location tag indicates, and sellers must be able to ship to my location with the ants inside of two boxes in order to prevent escape (as permit indicates.) 

Bolded species are ones that I am mainly looking for.

I could sell u some of my lasius americanus queens. I have microscopic pics of the hair on legs.

[OiledOlives]

If anyone can collect Aphaenogaster tennesseensis (both queens and colonies), I'd be willing to pay over 30 dollars just for a queen.

[OiledOlives]

Will also purchase Lasius workers and pupae (americanus, neoniger, and/or brevicornis)

[godlywarrior22]

I've got about 5 of those species here in Ohio so dm me

[OiledOlives]

Made changes to first post. 

[Mettcollsuss]

I'm most likely going to be collecting some Trachy this spring anyway, if it ends up working out I'll let you know

[OiledOlives]

Still looking 

[OiledOlives]

If anyone has a captive Lasius (neoniger, americanus, brevicornis, aphidicola, claviger, speculiventris, or interjectus) colony with lots of pupae, please DM me.

P.S. Will pay for trachymyrmex, so dm me if comes available.(with workers and fungus)

I can try to get L. Americanos, will see tho

[SolenopsisKeeper-]

Also, could prob get bureni

[OiledOlives]

[OiledOlives]

No queens in Florida yet. Going to try to catch D. bureni now. When do they fly?(Day, night or morning)

Also, trying to collect trachymyrmex soon.(They fly in morning?)(I may get mistaken for another sister genus, so I will sell if I get too many colonies with workers)

[azzaaazzzz00]

I had Lasius aphidicola, but let her go because I had no host workers.

RIP
Maybe you will next time.
