desert leafcutter ants

  1. Desert leafcutter queens

    Desert leafcutter queens

    This population of Acromyrmex practices pleometrosis, a form of polygyny where multiple queens will found together and raise their fungus. Unlike other ants, these do not have nanitic workers. they are weakly polymorphic with minors and majors, but no supermajors like in ATTA, a related species.

    Acromyrmex versicolor- Desert leafcutter ants

    Perfect conditions allowed for a massive flight, though this wasnt as huge as the first flight of the year. This population is polygynous, allowing me to put several queens together, queens may also be added to other colonies, along with workers.
