Southern fire ants, Solenopsis xyloni, carrying a pebble from an excavation project deeper in the nest. West Texas. I often think of this species as a western desert ant, but it used to be found coast to coast and was extirpated in the east by the red imported fire ants. #Ants #Solenopsis #FireAnts #insects
