ANTSTORE World of Ants

[funkamatic]

I primarily studied entomology and ants in college because of my interest in them. I don't know very much about keeping them though. I'll be attaining my secondary teaching license in a while and I want to start rearing the colony now before I get a classroom of my own. I would want a species (that's available in the store) that lasts the longest and would grow into the thousands at least.

Please help me choose.

thank you

Hello,
(sorry for my not perfect Englisch)

I`m sorry, but i think that you can`t order a colony from antstore, because they cant send ants to you . -customs-

But when you know a amerikan ant+shop, then you can order there.

a good ant is messor.

If I remember correctly there is a law in America that doen´t allow to ship any organisms that are able to reproduce.
So shipping ordinary workers is allowed but shipping colonies with queens isn´t.

So basicly the choice you have is depending on where you live.

What age will the pupils be in your class?
I could imagine that a Pogonomyrmex colony would be interesting but since they are quite venomous they might not be accepted in the school.

You probably should contact the American forum: Hyperlinks sind nur für registrierte Nutzer sichtbar
