Does anyone know what the best beginner ant in Southern NV is and where to catch it?
I LIKE ANTS!!!!
It all depends do you want small ants or big ants fast growing ants or slow growing ants? And so on.

i think i want a medium sized ant that grows medium speed
that is also polymorphis

Carpenter ants and harvester ants are in your area but harvesters grow way faster than carpenters but they are some of the med sized in your area.
and probably easily breedable

I just read polymorphis and most harvester in Nevada are not poly but harvester are way easier to breed than carpenters.
But I know you have P.rugosus, C.marmitus, C.vicinus in your area. This is just for harvesters and carpenters.
ok, thanks!

For smaller species and fast growers you have Pheidole /big headed ants.

Are these other species good for begginners?

To catch them I would go to parks for carpenters and deserts for harvesters. Then I would shine a black light and catch queens.
Hope this helps!

Yes they are most starters first choice. But be aware that some harvester ants sting, mainly pogonomyrmex not veromessor. And carpenters don't sting but once they get majors the bites will hurt a little.

Do you think that with a black light could catch some queens in an area that sprays?

There is a slim chance. If there is pesdisides in the parks I would go to a forest.
OK thanks!

You could also place a tarp under the blacklight, to lower the risk.
