Experience one of Africa’s most fascinating ant species! I’m offering freshly caught, fertile Odontomachus troglodytes queens—direct from Cameroon.

These trap-jaw ants are known for their lightning-fast mandibles, bold hunting behavior, and aggressive colony defense. Perfect for intermediate and experienced keepers who want a dynamic, exotic species in their formicarium.

I hope what you’re doing is legal. Some kids recently got in big trouble for trafficking African ants.

Yes I remember, it was in Kenya. But here in Cameroon it is legal. I’ve been shipping to other countries without any problem.

Alright, just make sure to put your location in your profile as per forum rules (found here) and specify which countries you can ship to.

Not a very good look if you ask me... Just make sure to update your original post regarding the location you can ship your queens too and I'll be off your case.
