Unless you have permits that is illegal.

Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest. -Proverbs 6: 6-8

My Ant Shop Here I have PPQ-526 permits to ship ants nationwide

I'm not to sure, but I know that in many places in asia and europe have little restrictions of buying/selling queen ants. The USA has by far the strictest regulations for the ant trade.

That is true inside of a set area, but definitely not true between continents. Remember the Kenya smuggling bust a few months ago?
