I have caught an excess of queen ants and as a result decided to sell them.

I cannot do shipping and can only sell within Michigan as I don't have permits.

Please PM me for the ants

Will have nanitics within a week

Formica subsericea:

couldn't get a picture of the queens but I got the brood pile.
