I'm looking for anyone interested in keeping ants in Ohio.

What part of Ohio are you from?

Fellow Ohioan here. I live in the NE part of the state, near Youngstown.

Cool nice to see ant keepers in ohio. I'm from Medina Ohio that's just south of Cleveland.

I'm from Columbus! Just starting the hobby

I've caught 3 queens after 4 trips on trails ( 1-2 hour walks per trip )

1 of the 3 queens (Formica I believe, but unsure...) is laying eggs and actively protecting/watching over them.

The other 2 queens (Both Camponotus, for sure) are laying eggs, but they're scattered and they don't tend to them.

So I'm 75% success on catching queens.
But only 33% on catching fertile queens...
Which means 25% chance per trip of catching a fertile queen.

Hoping she does well

So... apparently today was a Formica nuptial flight extravaganza. In Columbus, I caught 21 queens today. 19 are Formica. I’m unsure of the other 2. I’m more than willing to share (for free) if anyone wants to contact me about them! I’ve tubed every single one of them.

Do Not post requests for ants from other forum users, Do Not advertise sales of ants to other forum members, Do Not advertise your company that sales ants. There will be one warning to the user (unless the situation deems a full ban) about it and the next time will be a permanent ban of the user or users.

There are 4 GAN farmers in Ohio, from Akron, Cincinnati, Columbus, and Grove City. According to the GAN page, they currently have no ants. It makes sense, since it's almost winter time.
