Maybe its due to the crazy climate of late. Making flights unpredictable. Maybe people just missed out on flights? 2-3 years ago, I remembered seeing a lot of m.mexicanus for sale by many people in Cali and surrounding states. Same with badius in Florida (a few). Maybe people are selling straight to the vendors? Getting a tad bit frustrated with having a permit but seeing no one is selling.
Check my signature for what I am looking to buy. Thanks

Yeah this year is going pretty bad, there's only been one rain storm up in the desert in Cali
Yeah, I've heard. Been messaging someone about once every 2 weeks now for updates.

I, for one, gave up on selling ants. I can’t even give them away due to competition from the eBay scumbags selling illegal ants and the flashy websites. Ant keeping has gone commercial now.

Almost no rain this summer. If you notice the wetter the winter is in Southern California, the drier that year's monsoon season is. Unfortunately for that matter, we had a very wet winter this year.

Yes, many people do sell straight to vendors. It gets so tiring answering all of everyone's questions, and then typing up their whole invoice with payment instructions, only to then never hear from them again after that.

Hello, i know this is off topic, but i recently moved to amarillo and I'm hooping to go after some atta next year. I have a bit of a drive to get to a area where they exist i was thinking the college station area, i saw your journal about keeping them and i was wondering if you had some tips on where and how to look for them. Any help is appreciated perhaps ther is a way you can direct message me, I'm very new to this site.

With all the people founding their own personal shops it wasn't hard to predict the market would get oversaturated and collapse at some point.
Antkeeping is still a niche hobby within a niche hobby within a niche hobby. It simply cannot support a big economy around itself.
We should respect all forms of consciousness. The body is just a vessel, a mere hull.
