Pogonomyrmex will usually collect and hoard most any seeds you give them, but the question is always "Are they eating them?".

 

Well I recently gave all my harvester ants some organic, untreated Nyjer seeds, and this is what my P. subnitidus trash pile looks like.

 

 

 

I guess it's safe to say they're eating these seeds.

That is so cool! It's nice that they make trash piles instead of just leaving it everywhere

You can easily tame them to do so

Remember my Veromessor? They put their trash in a trash can.

I wish me pheidole would do what dspdrew's does! They're outworld is a disaster and I don't know how to go about cleaning it.

I must say those Veromessor's are awesome

Does anybody know of a place I can order untreated or organic blue grass seed online?
