Location: Apopka, Florida. A front lawn, essentially a grassy field. Ants were crossing the pavement to reach into a new grass area.
Size: Largest major I was able to measure was 7 millimeters, although I did find one larger one. This species appears to have large majors, smaller minor workers, and some medium sized workers.
Color: A crimson red head and thorax with a black gaster.
Distinguishing features: I managed to find an ant carrying something that resembled a seed, I then found two more ants doing this.
I’m going to go out to get a better picture later, but I was trying to hurry with this one so I could do maintenance on my other ant colonies.
New!
