Hello my name is Ivan and I’m from San Antonio Texas. I’m new to ant keeping and would love to know if anyone else is from San Antonio or Austin and would like to go anting with me. I’m looking for any type of honey pot ants, any Camponotus, and pogonomyrmex barbatus.

Welcome! The General Marketplace is a great place to look for Texan vendors and the search bar in the top right will help you find the best places to look for certain species in your state.

Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest. -Proverbs 6: 6-8
