Did anyone else get the email advertising their new "store" ? Pretty darn sure I did not "opt" in to receive such nonsense, but you can be darn sure I opted out.

Nah, made me check it out though and I had a good giggle when I saw those prices especially for the ytong nests.

Maybe you bought something from them before or email enquiry etc

 

Prices are in $AUD

 

They say they send everything overseas, so I guess that means ants as well, so one of the few legit ways of getting Aussie ant queens

1) Opisthopsis Rufithorax (strobe ant), Melophorus sp2. black and orange, Pheidole species, Pheidole antipodum

Makes it a bit more less insane but 115 USD/ 94 EUR for a 192mmX242mm Ytong nest is still ridiculous.

Seems like it. German ant traders imported Myrmecia spec. from there if I recall right.

If it's the TarHeel Ants one, then they are just as expensive from THA's site.

If it's the Ants Australia ones, then well nothing to do with the site selling em, guess Aus Ants pricing is to blame :)

Never, EVER bought anything and as far as I know never even visited their site. It's called spam...
