Acanthomyrmex is such a weird little genus. I like them because of the dimorphism, just like in my fav genus, Pheidole.

Pheidole flavens soldier with cookie bait.

 

Have no idea whether my ID is correct at this point, but found these cute little critters in a town's downtown in central FL.

The soldiers are somewhat timid, but were adept at being able to handle a Pheidole obscurithorax minor that was too inquisitive about the bait I had used to find them
