Founding queens are fairly common under just about any object during this time of year in areas adjacent to moist woodland.

Overturn every rock ever. Got it.

 

I saw a nice map of Odontomachus clarus in Texas though. I think there weren't any in my county. T-T Maybe I can go visit my relatives in San Antonio :P

 

Edit: Nevermind! I just saw a post from this March of one directly in my county on BugGuide lol

Do you find them in a particular environment? Prairies, fields, forests?

Not much in the way of prairies or fields here but they survive anywhere so long as moisture is present. They're fairly wide ranging in Florida and seem to survive equally well in the deep leaf litter of oak stands as they do in well-watered mulch beds. Odontomachus clarus may be more tolerant of arid environments.

Can confirm, I found my queen under a random paverstone(seriously, was walking along the woods close to my apartment and there's a random paver stone just chilling in the grass/leaf litter. wtf.).  This species is more common than I thought in the area, you just have to kinda have an eye for where they would want to be. So far the wild colonies I've seen have had in common: moist, shady/ lower light, leaf litter, a rock or next to a tree.

The entrance is also ALWAYS under some leaf litter so it's difficult to spot. I've only located them by finding the workers and trying to find where they came from. This might help or might not, and Lord knows much more about these than I do so please add or  subtract from anything I've said.


Current Species-------------------------
Brachymyrmex Patagonicus [First workers]
Pheidole Floridana [R.I.P. :'( ]
Odontomachus Brunneus [Founding]

Actually one dubious record in California, however my dad and I were never able to collect specimens to confirm it.

Odontmachus have been found in some areas of Arizona to be quite abundant. I see no reason why they wouldn't do just fine in California. Maybe the invasives have wiped em out?


Currently Keeping:
Trachymyrmex septentrionalis

Pheidole pilifera

Crematogaster cerasi

Pheidole bicarinata
