No, only Pogonomyrmex occi.

May consider other harvester ants native to North America.

It is illegal to bring African species into the United States.

The post explicitly states that the person is located in New York where it is illegal for you to ship ants. Stop trying to illegally sell ants to people without any proof of permits.

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

My Ant Shop Here I have PPQ-526 permits to ship ants nationwide

You should say which state you are in as it is illegal to ship ants over state lines.

As per forum rules, you need to state your location in your profile to buy or sell ants on this forum. However, Pogonomyrmex occidentalis is currently the only species completely deregulated by the USDA for interstate travel, excluding Florida and California, so in this rare exception the 'illegal' part is non-applicable.
