The genus name for American harvester ants, Pogonomyrmex, means "bearded ant", and it refers to a basket of hairs on the underside of the head that helps these desert ants carry dry sand.

It has been a while... so have some ants!
I believe these are Red Harvester Ants taken near Lake Hefner in Oklahoma

Here is an example of what they want to build, given enough sand and soil. Hence all the eggs. They aim high! #ants #architecture #antnest #Pogonomyrmex

Just added meat back to their diet and they are having a massive egg-boom. Used this amber light to show off their colors. Pogonomyrmex occidentalis (or as most call them ‘pogos’) have wide heads and simple little eyes. They mostly eat seeds and can in theory live on a vegetarian diet— but like most ants they can’t resist a dead fly, cricket, or roach. #antstodon #ants #pogos #Pogonomyrmex #harvesterants #cutebabies
