Looking for a Pheidole colony of any kind. I live in the eastern US so I would like to get a local species but I don't need one.

What state do you live in? The only people who can sell to you have to either live in your state or have the proper permits to ship to your state and yes, the ant has to be local to your state.

I live in Kentucky, Pretty much all of the pheidole that exist in the east/southeast are native to KY which is why I asked for anything. I just have not been able to find one.

You only have 4 species of Pheidole in Kentucky and there are far more species than that in the Southeast/East, and 1 of those species is not native there (P. dentata). Florida alone has 17 species. I'm not trying to be rude here, I am just letting you know is all.

And the reason I asked in the first place is because I could not see a state listed under your profile, which is a requirement for buying ants on Formiculture.
