Harvester Ant Seed Mix (1x2'' packet)

Harvester Ant Seed Mix (1x2'' packet)

Our Harvester Ant Seed Mix is a mix of multiple different seeds, chosen to provide a safe variety of different sizes and textures so that any harvester ant species can accept them. Ants such as Veromessor, Pogonomyrmex, some Pheidole, and even some Tetramorium will eat these!

 

Seeds in the mix: 

  • Kentucky Bluegrass: Kentucky Bluegrass are the standard, most commonly used seeds for Harvester Ants in the US. Medium-sized. 
  • Dandelion: Dandelion seeds seem to be a favorite for species such as Tetramorium, Pogonomyrmex, and Pheidole rhea. They are medium-sized seeds, slightly larger and darker than Kentucky Bluegrass.
  • Phacelia: Phacelia seeds come from plants native to the southwestern United States, meaning many of the native Harvester Ants are already used to eating them. Though they are round, somewhat large, and probably difficult to crack for smaller ants, the shell is thinner than most seeds and inside is a large chunk of edible material for the ants.
  • Sand Lovegrass: Sand lovegrass is a tiny, reddish-brown seed from the eastern United States. All harvesters seem to love this seed, but it is especially useful for smaller species such as tiny Pheidole (Pheidole bicarinata) or young colonies of medium-sized Harvester Ants.
