Might need to register a possible sighting in the UK then on ant wiki :D
That would be cool! 8-)
Why keep ants that aren't found in your yard?
There are so many fascinating ants right where you live!
I disagree with the keeping/buying of ants that aren't in your area.

If that’s what it is you need a worker specimen to send to an entomologist to confirm, then, if it is it, it will still take quite a bit to update the map

Transit? Did you buy a colony? If so, that normally happens.
