@alexwild This was one of the species that got me interested in polymorphic ants when I was in college. It was called Pheidole ridicula then, and the name kinda fit.
@alexwild FL is not doing too well in the weather department during summer as well. Thunderstorms every afternoon, and hot and muggy (not to mention we got clueless guys in white boots). But, no snow, so there's that.
