I went for a short walk through Santa Fe Dam Recreation Area and i found several colonies of Pogonomyrmex Sp.
There were also tiny holes which i thought might be founding chambers so i dug them up, but they were empty.
I found some abandoned nests, there were black ants that seemed to be attacking the Pogonomyrmex and raiding their nests.
I'm hoping to find some founding chambers this weekend after Friday's rain.
Does anyone have tips of identifying a founding chamber?
