High demand I guess. At that pace you could make a decent bit of money as a side job

Nylanderia vividula coming soon. Also, I will probably get some Pheidole navigans queens in June or July, so look out for those in the summer!

Didn’t expect it to be that fast! Lost workers? I would have never thought that would have sold for free. I should have did the same with my Argentine ant queen that lost its workers.

Yeah Novomessor is a pretty popular species. I didn't expect it either. 2 people were interested in the first 3 hours. I think you wouldn't be able to do that with an argie queen, because most people aren't interested in argies.

I have heard! It’s like replacing all the RIFA down south with argies, as RIFA spread so fast as they have multiple queens and spread thousands of alates each year. Not to mention the sting… hey, but at least the native pyramid ants take care of male RIFA’s and winged alates.

I'm not sure if/when they will be. They would probably be in the summer.
