Pheidole pilifera workers are only 1-2 mm in length. Majors are 3 mm and queens are 5. I think your ants are larger than that.Ltislander wrote: ↑Mon Oct 15, 2018 10:22 pmHello everyone! I caught what I thought was a teteramorium immagrans colony in July. But 6 weeks later when workers came along it was discovered they were Pheidole Pilifera! They have 5 workers and many, many larvae. They also have a major larvae. I’m going to post a few pictures soon!
