I have found that a store named 'CG Ants' has made queen ants available worldwide, including the United States. I am warning you that purchasing from him would be supportive of his possibly illegal behavior.

The most important thing for ant keepers is to be united against illegal trade. It could threaten our great hobby!

Have you reported him? I don't like how people from the US are restricted from getting nice species outside their country, but this isn't acceptable.

I thought you are not allowed to sell live animals on e-bay, so I would think that this person will be banned soon enough, although I do not know enough to comment on it fully.

Officially you are not allowed to sell live animals, but they are getting away with it as they are selling them under the "live food" section which is allowed. If you check out eBay properly you can see that they sell all kinds of different animals like stick insect, spiders, crickets and even live fruit flies under the same section. Once you have bought them it is then up to you what you do with them feed them to another species eg snakes or make them into pets.

If only you guys knew how many illegal species I own it would blow your mind . ....For you guys that would like to know cg ants have great ants very cheap they have messor barbarus, lasius niger/Flavus and also Myrmica Rubra. also I own a forum for selling ants worldwide so pm me if your interested? You guys need to grow up ants cause no harm the amount of queens and incestrial species needed to start another RIFA is extremely high and would take a lot of queens and I mean a lot!! Way more than a few hundred I know I study entomology and I have a bachelors in biology and have done extensive research so please try cg ants, AntStore, and the some other sites there great and fast happy ant buying/ keeping.

A bachelor's degree at 19?! That is good going. There is nothing to grow up about regarding illegal activities, and as a policeman I take such things vary seriously. If you don't like my ethos then please leave the forum and find one that is not so hot on illegal activities.

The people who set up and support those laws know better than you, to be frank. There's a kind of person who disregards the law just to own a cool pet, and they don't tend to be experts. A real biologist wouldn't let personal pleasure outweigh ecological and economic risk.

Myrm I'm 31 this is my sons account who is actually 13 not 19 and I see that if you can care for it than there is no problem having it. Yes it is crude for me to say buying illegal species is ok, but if you have a passion that is collecting insects why not get one that you are proud of.

Because you could wipe out Native ants with invasive species or disease.
