The western harvester ant is a species of ant that lives in the dry deserts and grasslands of the American West and Canada. It gets its name from collecting seeds to eat. It has a painful, venomous sting, and large colonies can damage grazing land.1

Workers harvest seeds and pollen directly from plants and gather fallen seeds. They also gather newly dead insects. Some seeds are stored in chambers within the nest.1

Its sting is painful. Where there are many colonies, they can cause such loss of grazing plants and seeds that they are a severe ecological and economic burden.1

Nsɛm

Mounds are surrounded by bare ground, so they do not burn during fires.1

A mature colony can have up to 20,000 workers and one queen, and its nest can reach 5 metres (16 ft) deep.1

Honey ants (Myrmecocystus mexicanus) often nest close to western harvester ant colonies and feed on dead or dying workers.1

A queen mates with 2 to 11 different males, with an average of 6.3.1

Workers usually change their jobs as they age, and they forage towards the ends of their lives. A worker lives for an average of six months.1

In cooler months, workers forage throughout the day. In summer they forage only from 5–11 am and 3–9 pm.1
