I have heard that Tetramorium immigrans are polymorphic, but I don't know if that is true.
Why keep ants that aren't found in your yard?
There are so many fascinating ants right where you live!
I disagree with the keeping/buying of ants that aren't in your area.

Would tetramorium count as super majors since they are tiny ants or is it judged relative to their size?

Ohh, I did not see you said super major, no they don't have super majors.

Tetramorium ants aren't polymorphic EI workers having different size and jobs generally. :D

Yes, I was just about confirm that they are not polymorphic. Sorry about that.

Few species of ants naturally get super-majors. Pheidole rhea is a good choice, but are not in your area. Just get Camponotus(No super majors but still have large majors). Camponotus americanus dig in dirt....
