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.

Oh, well scientific names are all in Latin or Greek, so that is why it looks like gibberish, after time you will learn to read them. ;) I will try to find the nuptial flight schedule. By the way I found the species on antmaps.
