Atta cephalotes

Post by Formica123 » Wed Apr 27, 2016 7:38 am

Would the fungus of atta cephalotes survive a 2-3 hour trip from Scotland to France? Just wondering because I'll be collecting a colony this year but want to make sure they won't be all dead by the time I get home...
I keep over 20 species of ant, inc. Acromyrmex Octospinosus

Strange question Marco. You know we are sending out colonies of Leaf Cutting Ants by post, overnight, all the time. You have received colonies that have traveled overnight from me. What are you unsure of?
