Adam, spoken so many times in the past. Mostly me letting you down about getting a colony of Termites!!! Now you will be infront of me all of the time so you will serve as a reminder about this. If you post something about Termites on the Non Leaf Cutting Ant section then there may be some interest from others. I know you had Atta octospinosis before, I am planning some new species next year so there might be scope for doing something. Please consider commenting on whats here and even starting a thread or two. Always great to have new ideas and contributions, especially since we are a small community. (but growing very quickly!) Anyway fantastic to see you here and you are most welcome my friend.

Hey Andrew , nice to hear of you, don't worry mate, your a very busy man, was totally understandable, :D, It was Atta cephalotes I have had from your self, kept two colony's over the years, Never kept Acromyrmex but should I venture into leaf cutters again I would like to see if it possible to obtain a multi queen colony, think during one of our chats you mentioned you do find multi queen colonies common just not sure what species you mentioned it was.

Thank you for that, I will keep that in mind I will most certainly blog about termites here :D

Thank you for the welcome mate

Adam

Adam, you should check out the section on permits for the US. Maybe you can add something to that.

Hey Andrew , have actually checked that out today, unfortunately I can add nothing to it, The USA are extremely strict on any organisms coming or going and regulations are strictly enforced. Fortunately I didn't move there, but when looking at just importing a Macaw I had at the time with me when I was considering moving it was far too much of a headache and luckily for me I stayed here in the uk.
