Pogos are most well-known for their foraging and harvesting activities. This Pogonomyrmex salinus worker was imaged while hurrying back to the nest with a grass spikelet. These ants collect a wide variety of seeds and other plant parts, and store them deep within the nest until needed. [see the 'Interactions with Plants' section of this site for more info]
