Re: [soooo OT] Ants

[Ross McKillop <home@xxxxxxx>]

There's a UK-based wildlife gardening catalouge, it's name escapes me
right now ... something like CJ Birds definitely had them in them -
again no idea how they get to you (Jiffy bag with ants in it doesnt
seem that believable, and besides it's illegal to send anything living
through the post with a _few_ exceptions)

I also dont imagine you'd be able to get them from Italy very easily...
and if they ARE restricted for whatever reason you'll probably get into
a lot of trouble for attempting the illegal importation of Italian
ants!
