Sadly, there are no Cephalotes in Indiana. There is, however, a species of fungus farmer: Trachymyrmex septentrionalis.

Re: Dream Ant!
Possibly. They seem to top out at around you latitude. Most likely in sandy soils in the Southern part of our state, though.

Re: Dream Ant!
They fly from May to August.
Fair warning, though: They aren't a common species here in Indiana.

Re: Dream Ant!
Y'all have awesome ants. Here in Oregon, we have no cool ants at all. Our coolest ants are probably Tetramorium.

Nope. You've got honeypots (Myrmecocystus testaecus, M. kennedyi, M. pyramicus, M. semirufus), four species of harvesters from the genera Veromessor and Pogonomyrmex, and the invasive ant, Myrmica rubra.SamuelMamuel wrote: ↑Sat Feb 18, 2017 10:57 amY'all have awesome ants.

Re: Dream Ant!
But a lot of those live in the eastern section where it's more arid and dry. I live on the west close to the coast.Martialis wrote: ↑Sat Feb 18, 2017 11:07 amNope.
