Most species in Australia are protected, and there are very few people with a licence to capture them, this is why pavida is so expensive when it does appear for sale

its not REALLY expensive at some ''other'' ant shop.

Do you know if they are sold somewhere else please? I am going to send the owner Martin S a private email suggesting that he gets a licence if he doesn't already have one to capture some of these ants. If enough of us email him that we are interested then maybe he'll stock them.
