Wouldn't these be illegal to have in the US? Why do you keep asking for stuff like this?

Yes, very illegal.

 

For those wondering, Pheidologeton diversus is an outdated taxa. The species is now called Carebara diversa, which should be more familiar to most of you reading.

 

Why do you keep asking for stuff like this? 

I already explained our federal laws to him weeks ago. I'm wondering the same thing.

 

Also wondering why this kid hasn't been banned, as per our Forum Rules.

Imagine he's using the outdated name since he thought less people would be familiar with it, thus allowing him to potentially get by without people thinking he was looking for exotics.

I messaged him yesterday, although it doesn't seem like he's been online for the past few days. We'll have to wait and see.

I would settle for a regular pheidole. C. Diversa is a little hard to keep.

He has tried to illegally import Pheidole rhea as well. There is no reasoning with this kid.
