Huge relief. Pheidole is doable.

I can't remember what ant this is, but is it normal for that larvae to be so big?

That's a Solenopsis invicta queen, and sometimes a trophic egg will go uneaten and develop into a male alate. One of my colonies keeps doing this for some odd reason, even though she's also produced two workers... Her male alate larvae are more numerous than her worker larvae. Seems like a dud to me.

Thought it was odd. Honestly not too upset over a solenopsis Invicta queen. I'll see how it turns out.
