I was thinking the same thing, but James Trager said they "appear" to be Dorymyrmex. There looks to be several Dorymyrmex in my area, and these look like D. bossutus to me now. D. smithi, D. bureni, and D. grandulus are all in my area as well.Batspiderfish wrote: ↑Sat Mar 18, 2017 8:55 pmI can't really make out a cone-like propodium on the first workers, why not Forelius pruinosus?
The second one (including the major) is Pheidole obscurithorax. Dorymyrmex insanus is in the Western United StatesCanadiananter wrote: ↑Sat Mar 18, 2017 2:42 pmI think the first one is Dorymyrmex bureni and the second one is Dormyrmex insanus. The major looks like Pogonomyrmex badius to me
