Mbullock4286's Ants for sale

NOTE- I don't have PPQ-526 clearance, you will have to have PPQ clearance to receive ants from Arizona across state lines!

I will have Phidippus jumping spiders available again soon- most likely P. apacheanus (or tux, maybe) but I'm mostly focused on ants at the moment.


*FREE SAME DAY DELIVERY IN ALL OF ARIZONA* (if it's worth the travel expenses, that is!- I can't travel to phoenix just to sell a couple of dorymyrmex, for example!)

**Cash only for now, gotta reactivate my account, I'll post a bump when it's active.**

Not interested in trades, atm, maybe in the future!

All ants are in borosilicate glass test-tubes. Once these specimens are in your ownership i am no longer responsible for them- that said, don't hesitate to ask me for help if something seems wrong with your specimen(s)!

LOCATED IN BENSON, AZ

Note- By purchasing these ants you are agreeing that you will NOT bring them across state lines unless you have PPQ-526 clearance to do so!

The bane of my existence growing up in Arizona. Damn those things could sting.
None of mine can sting, i usually deal mostly in Formicinae (carpenter ants, honeypot ants, wood ants etc)

a few years back I stepped into a solenopsis krackowi nest on accident and they have really really small workers that can get under the folds of clothing, even tight socks. the bottoms of my feet were covered in hundreds of stings. the pain didnt really come til the next day when the sterile pustules appeared. Oh man. felt like walking on shards of glass.
