It does say "ten available" at the end of those listings. I would assume they are available.

You read the policies he has made on the primary post and wait for him to get back to you.  Patience.

They are present, but they're rare as they probably came from hitching a ride.

I don't recall getting any emails form you. If you are from CA, you can send me a message on here about purchasing ants.

Remove your phone information.  You never want to post stuff like that publicly.  

 

Hover over "dspdrew" and you'll have a window appear where you can message him directly, which is what he meant.  Posting here is not messaging.

It's a very bad idea to post your phone number on a public forum. Please send me a private message by clicking here.

I live there. There are plenty of harvester ants in Santa Clarita (Pogonomyrmex Californicus and Veromessor Andrei). They are quite common. Also I don't think Lasius Niger is native to CA.

I don’t think so. They’re just plain polygynous.
