Yeah. Welp. I hate to break it to you but bringing and shipping ants across state lines is illegal. You need proper governmental permits to do it legally.

Yea bro you have to have permits. Check ants emporium next year and they for sure will have atta Texana. Idk if they ship to AZ tho

Luckily Arizona does have a native atta species, that being atta mexicana. They are mainly found around organ pipe cactus national monument if you want to go collect them yourself, but unfortunately their nuptial flights ended months ago.

If you're going to participate in the marketplace, you need to put your location in your profile.

Always be prepared when you go on vacation. Especially with leafcutter ants since they need a constant supply of leaves and flowers.

Well Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument is kind of like a National Park. So it's illegal to remove anything from there. Including ants.

If you ever go away just make sure you give them extra hydration and extra leaves. Keep ‘em nice an happy. They caaaaan go a while without leaves but they won’t grow.

Thanks for advice. I kept them before with not much luck. Next year when Ants emporium restocks, wish me luck!
