Thank you! I have looked through the listings but there are no local sellers. Though even if there was a seller I already have plans to catch my own Formica queens some time in June. I may even become a seller myself.

I would love to join the GAN project! Once I have a colony developing and some queens in test tubes I will be sure to sent in an inquiry about the project. I have read up on it and I love the idea of having nearby ant keepers you can learn from, or purchase queens. :)

Hello hyenadog. I'm from Hamilton, Montana. Nice to see a fellow Montanan also into ant-keeping. Have you had any luck with queens yet?

Hello! Great to see another montanan on these forms. I have seen tons of Camponotus, formica and some tetramorium workers roaming around, as for Queens I have only come acrossed camponotus and I decided not to capture her because they develop slowly. Have you had any luck on your side?
