The movement of soil particles is a common activity at most Pogonomyrmex nests, as the workers excavate subterranean tunnels and galleries, and work on the external nest structure. Here, a Pogonomyrmex bicolor worker removes a large pebble from the nest entrance, and carries it away to be discarded.
