Hi everyone!

I’m looking for a queen or colony for a kid. I can pick them up in the San Diego area or have them sent to me by Wednesday morning.
Thank you for any reference as well!

For a kid I would highly recommend a Lasius or Tetramorium colony. Each of these species are easy to keep and house especially if you want a fast growing species. To buy these ants you have a few options. One option is to go to the marketplace on this forum to see if anyone near you has the species that you desire. But make sure you add your location on your profile in order to be eligible. Another option is to go to Stateside ants (which I highly recommend) or any other website that ships from the U.S where you can buy colony's available in your region that will ship right to your house. 

Here is the link for Stateside Ants

Hope this helps!
