So, sometime during the night I had a dream I found a Pogonomyrmex queen. But, unlike other Pogonomyrmex, this one was more like a Leafcutter ant...they grew fungus out of seeds and they'd eat the fungus. The fungus didn't come from plants in my dream, but from actual seeds. And in my dream, the Pogonomyrmex ate both the seeds and the fungus. So, they got their diet from two sources.

 

If that was ever reality, that would be an awesome Pogonomyrmex to find. But, was kind of a weird dream as no one has ever found a Pogonomyrmex fungus grower, lol. And the fungus was more like that spindly white stuff that tends to grow on food...except the ants farmed it and ate it.

Funny you mentioned that. I just had a dream too, just two days ago. I dreamed that there was a leafcutter queen on my doorstep, and I was about to catch it when some government came and sprayed the queen ant with Raid.


Species I keep:

 

1 Lasius cf. Neoniger 30 workers

1 Camponotus sp. 15 workers

20 Tetramorium SpE 30 workers

1 T. Sessile 200 workers

Most of my dreams involving ants revolve around them sneaking past the cotton plugging the tubes/airholes...
