Welcome to my trading post! I'm going to be putting up some ants (and maybe other bugs) here for the primary purpose of trading. Feel free to ask any questions below...

Pickup/Shipping: Local pickup is in the California Bay Area, at a location of my choice. Priority shipping is available for about $10.00, more for ants in formicaria. For local pickup, the payment will be in cash. For shipping, the payment must be through PayPal Friends and Family. If not, a small PayPal fee will be charged.

DOA Policy: Can refund for the ants if the customer sends me a video of the dead colony within 2 hours of arrival. I will package the ants to the best of my ability, but shipping will not be refunded as I cannot control what conditions they will be going through during shipping.

 

Contacts: If interested but can't access Formiculture, email lhnguyens07@gmail.com. My Discord username is bmb1bee if you prefer a quicker way of reaching out.

 

I may accept payment over trade offers in some cases. PM for price, or if interested in up-to-date pics of my ants!  :D

P.S. California sales only, unless you have a permit if from another state (does not apply for some insects like beetles/mantids or formicariums and other nonliving supplies).

 

Ants:

 

Solenopsis cf. validiuscula 1q + 1-10w (1 available) - available in a week or so

 

Solenopsis "molesta" 1q + 40-60w (1 available)

 

Temnothorax cf. andrei 1q + 1-5w (1 available)

 

Dorymyrmex insanus 1q + brood (4 available)

 

Camponotus cf. hyatti sp. 1q + brood (1 available) - fertile, but boosted after losing workers

 

Other:

 

Reticulitermes hesperus 1 pair (1 available) - petri dish setup

 

Zootermopsis cf. nevadensis 1 pair + 5-10w (1 available) - test tube setup

 

Phidippus johnsoni subadult (1 available)

 

Phidippus sp. spiderlings (5 available) - unsure of species, so please inquire for pictures or additional info

 

Wishlist:

 

Acromyrmex versicolor

 

Aphaenogaster sp.

 

Camponotus sp. (depends)

 

Cryptic sp. (Hypoponera, Strumigenys, etc.)

 

Manica sp.

 

Novomessor cockerelli

 

Pheidole sp. (preferably fallax-group)
