Insects and Spiders - Ants : Black Harvester Ants
Veromessor andrei
When the plants dry out, the ants start collecting bits of plant material to take into their nests.
The ants can carry some pretty big debris.
For some reason, these ants appeared to be bringing their larvae out of the nest. (See next photo also.)
Another nest. Notice the two empty carapaces of other insects.
This ant is carrying a toe from a dead lizard!
