It looks like a species of Pheidole(Big-headed Ant) to me.

[Phoenix]

Solenopsis geminata perhaps.

Solenopsis geminata perhaps.

Ya, your probably right. It can easily be Solenopsis.

They will get majors later on as the colony gets older.

[cudenden55]

[cudenden55]

[cudenden55]

[Leo]

Do they raise their gasters?

[cudenden55]

nope, they're not acid throwing ant...

[Phoenix]

From what I've heard of, majors of Solenopsis geminata will only appear when the colony is about 2 - 3 months old, regardless of how much protein-rich foods you supply them with. And for the record, Solenopsis geminata is a biting and stinging ant, not a formic acid sprayer.

[Phoenix]
