Selling ants

[SolenopsisKeeper]

I heard someone bought a queen of S. invicta and have the USDA bust into his house.

Wow.

Oh ok then you can sell them. But i dont think it is possible to introduce foreign ant species in your local wild life and have 0 consequences. Maybe scientist couldn't find some behavior of them that could possibly harm the ecosystem

I didn’t buy any invasive species luckily.

I try not to introduce them, but nobody actually knows where they originate, most people think not from Florida Becuase they are spreading quickly.

A fairly widespread species that occurs from Florida (where it might be introduced) south through the Caribbean and into northern South America. It is ground-nesting and found in both disturbed and natural habitats.

This is a description of them by antwiki. So it is kinda native you can say that
