I feel that it would be appropriate to provide more information than that, seeing as how there are strict laws in the United States regarding transportation of queen ants.


If you've enjoyed using my expertise and identifications, please do not create undue ecological risk by releasing your ants. The environment which we keep our pet insects is alien and oftentimes unsanitary, so ensure that wild populations stay safe by giving your ants the best care you can manage for the rest of their lives, as we must do with any other pet.

 

Exotic ants are for those who think that vibrant diversity is something you need to pay money to see. It is illegal to transport live ants across state lines.

I agree with the flying mammal-arachnid-gilled organism.

Atta texana and other fungus growers do terrible in formicariums. The best setup for an Atta or Acromyrmex queen is a tub with damp tissue or toilet paper on the bottom. I would recommend using Trachymyrmex or Cyphomyrmex to test your formicarium.
