“cone ants” or “pyramid ants” live in the southern US hence they are active all winter. Most people think they are named because they make little cone shaped sand piles at their nest entrance— but the real reason is morphology. They have a little cone on their back. Aren’t the newly eclosed workers lovely? Like they are made of glass. They seem very hearty and always have lots of brood. #ants #antcolony #antstodon
