Nope. Monomorphic completely.

That would be Pogonomyrmex badius.

Yes, occidentalis do have noticeable size variations (I've experienced this in my colony), but no true majors. The size variations are enough to keep me happy, though.
"God made..... all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. (including ants) And God saw that it was good. Genesis 1:25 NIV version
Yes p. occidentalis can have small nanitics and then you can feed them and tell the difference from a nanitic and second generation easily even third generations are bigger than the second.

I'm pretty excited about these big larva/pupae I've seen. Not real majors, but big girls are coming.
Starting this July I'm posting videos of my ants every week on youTube.
I like to make relaxing videos that capture the joy of watching ants.
If that sounds like your kind of thing... follow me >here<.
lol i had forgotten i had created this thread

Well I wanted to ask about the big larva and if they'd be majors but found this so decided to post the photos here since it had the answer.
