Hi everyone (PS: i hope this is the right spot to post this, Not sure i'm new)
I have been keeping ants for a while now and have always had my heart set on having a myrmecia colony. So i was doing some research on the genus and what species their are and i stumbled across this photo of a BLUE bull ant, the photo was only listed with the genus which of course was myrmecia but i was wondering if anyone could id it? and also maybe where i could find them.
Thank you!
