since they're mainly in AUS to my understanding the chances are probably slim. take a look at britishants.com and check there often as their stock can contain some fairly tropical and unique ants
Colonies:
Founding:
Camponotus cf. Modoc
Camponotus cf. Herculeanus
Dream Ants:
Stenamma Diecki
Solenopsis Molesta
Manica Invidia
Camponotus Herculeanus
Lasius Latipes
Dorymyrmex Pyramicus
Tapinoma Sessile

well i believe AUS is a lot like the USA when it comes to shipping ants outside of the country so honestly youre probably not going to find anything unless its on the ant black market

Is that new that they don't ship to Europe? In the past, some keepers in Europe received ants from them.

i think its been that way from the beginning as the question of where they ship ants to is in their FAQ.

Pretty good bet that if Aussie ants are showing up on lists outside of that country they are smuggled.

Gamergate, through one of its subsidiary companies, has been granted a Wildlife Trade Operation (WTO) from the Department of the Environment and Energy (DEE) that grants it permission to export native Australian ants, worldwide.

With as difficult as it is for legitimate researchers to collect and export research material I would not be surprised if these supposed permits came with a fairly high bribe price.

Hi all,
As the owner of Gamergate I can confirm that we are licensed to export ants outside of Australia, and do so regularly.
We are heavily regulated by the Australian Government and our collecting techniques and sustainability methods are very strictly controlled.
I hope that has cleared things up 
Brendon.
