I found this pheidole sp here in nor cal. They would collect tons of seeds from trees that would produce them above the nest. They would have massive trails collecting seeds. They also had a ton built up all around the nest. They were nesting in a gravel drive way.

And this picture is the area around them. This is also what most parts of nor cal also look like. Walking through there made holes in my socks. The pics aren’t the best either because they were small and I moved around the camera a lot so there was lots of blur between frames.

Alright thank you! Next time I go there I'll get some specimens and get some better pics and micro scope pics.
