New Jersey, unfortunately. I believe the leafcutters are pretty much from the southwest, like Texas. Although...I do have a friend who moved to TX a while back...hmmmmm.
Though from what I understand, their fungus garden has to remain intact and undamaged. So shipping may be out for that. Unless there's some crazy packing involved. Perhaps I'll think more about it as summer rolls around.
I know acorn ants are found in the Northeast, but with something that tiny, I need to work up the patience to try to find them. Haha.
I remember when I lived in Alabama and we had the "cow killer ants." Not really an ant, but more a solitary fuzzy red/black wingless wasp. I used to keep those, and they were awesome. Velvet ants would be cool, too, though I've never located any.
