AntWiki page for Pogonomyrmex californicus
A classic, very cute, i love their perfectly square heads. Cool, calm, collected, no matter how close i got i've never been stung by these gals!
And their sting packs a wallop! Astonished to learn these specific ants were chosen for the very first childrens ant farms, poor kids and poor ants.
One time I saw one dragging a dead lacewing and then a lizard stole it!!! RUDE
