Pogonomyrmex occidentalis, or the western harvester ant, is a species of ant that inhabits the deserts and arid grasslands of the American West at or below 6,300 feet. Like other harvester ants in the genus Pogonomyrmex, it is so called because of its habit of collecting edible seeds and other food items.
Please note, Queens will often consume brood due to the stress that comes with shipping. Once settled in her new home she will begin laying eggs again.
