The very pretty Pheidole morrisii, a large native big-headed ant from sandy habitats in the southeastern United States. Ants of this genus are dimorphic, with the worker caste divided into regular workers (right) and large soldiers (left). #Ants #Insects #Pheidole

Thanks to the field collection efforts of bug guys Steven Wang and Brandon Woo, I had an opportunity this weekend to photograph one of the world's more oddly-proportioned ants, the major worker of Pheidole absurda. This is a granivorous big-headed ant found from Texas south to Costa Rica, and the massive head powers seed-crunching jaws. #Ants #Pheidole #Insects
