My son is very enthusiastic about keeping ants but we’ve been unlucky and not able to find queens last year or this year. We have found several lone queens earlier this year but I think they have not mated because they haven’t laid any eggs in 4-6 weeks.

I signed up for AntsCanada Gan but no one is in my state (nj).

My mom was ready to buy an ant queen for my son online but I asked her to please hold off until I checked here.

If AntsCanada Gan won’t ship queens across USA state lines, I’m suspicious of shipping queens from Australia. Are these queens legit? Are they ethical from an environment conservation POV?

Thanks.

you will have to have a look at you country's export and import lays but it is most likely not legal. Some queen don't lay eggs for a very long time so they could be fertile. i would suggest to look at other queen ant sellers/online stores but make sure they live in you state.
