Attas?

Dude. What is wrong with you? Attas are not native to CA! Ever single post you make is asking for ants that are illegal. Nobody can sell you non native ants. The USDA will not issue a permit for non native ant distribution! Half the posts on this forum are just you asking for illegal ants. Stop already. Why haven't you been banned yet?

The problem isn't just legality, but also his total inability to keep any kind of ants alive. In the past he has failed at keeping relatively easy ants and has ignored every bit of advice members gave him to help preserve his colonies. I'm finding it hilarious that he keeps asking for exotics when he can't even keep some of the most basic ants alive. I assume his Pogonomyrmex "colony" was left in the oversized nest until the queen eventually just wasted away.

If it were up to me, he’d have gotten the boot a long time ago.

Welp, I tried explaining our federal laws to him and it seemed like he understood. After he many Chat GPT sourced arguments, he finally relented. Just when I thought I got through to him he makes a post like this...

If several people message Dspdrew, maybe we can get things rolling.
