Due to lack of interest/overall difficulty of insect capture, I decided to only sell wasps and ants (very locally). Sorry :(

xD Thanks 

I'm actually working on a new profile picture with my new queen!

If you are interested, I might be able to ship some insects (like dubia roaches) in the near future. My current inventory consists of small nymphs. The injured one is actually a bit older than the rest.

 

I edited the shipping page.

I'm also willing to sell the American Giant Millipede for $5, as well as a 1cm long species of springtail in groups of 5.

Tetramorium sp. e is really common where I live... Since its an introduced species, I'm trying to collect as many wild queens as possible (most end up as ant food). However, I do keep the healthier queens, which in fact takes up a very large majority of the queens that I find.

Don't you need a permit to sell amphibians and reptiles?

This relates to birds and mammals mostly, although there is slight detail about exotic reptiles:

tetramorium queens for 2 bucks...I'm moving to Connecticut now. 

just go outside in the early morning just before sunrise around early june (give or take some weeks depending on location) and you'll find more Tetramorium queens than would know what to do with. If you're really ambitious wake up at around 3 AM and go outside to witness the flights as they occur.

you can even place flowerpots and rocks near a nest to find hundreds of queens huddling under them.

Specific animals that I can sell immediately:
Beautiful adult female wolf spider, weaned onto a diet of large crickets

Formica subseriscea/fusca queen. She has not laid any eggs yet, which is pretty strange for the species (I did find them very recently, so they are probably waiting to lay in the spring).

A large, striped slug. Will sell for free.
