I know ants being available in the US is pretty tricky, since (if I remember properly)...
A: non-native Queen ants are prohibited. Whether it’s simply from another country or if it’s in between state boundaries (or probably both lmao)
B: non-native ants period are prohibited from other countries AND states.
I know these regulations are the exact reason why most people who keep ants live in different countries, so I was wondering-where can I get an ant colony? Being clear-I have zero intentions of getting a Queen (ant colonies can function without a Queen, right?), just a small colony.
Either that, or it’s back to buying Pogonomyrmex shoved in little plastic tubes.
Or digging up ants. I mean one of my friends has his own colony of Fire Ants which he dug up, Queen and all, pretty cool to watch.
