Not that I'd ever be in the market for illegal wildlife, I find the whole trade abhorrent, but $220 for a pregnant queen of an exotic ant species that would spawn an entire colony and live for years doesn't seem at all expensive.
"The foreigners never came to the fields themselves - they would wait in town, in a guest house or a car, and we would bring the ants to them packed in small tubes or syringes they supplied us with."
i never got the appeal of having someone else do the only interesting part of anything for you

I don’t understand why people would build an entire industry around insect trafficking just to watch ants for a few days before getting bored of them.
