This confirms that Pheidole az05 is trimorphic.

Somewhat common in the area under rocks. The castes of this species seem a little less fluid than tepicana, but there is definitely still variation.

Wasn't able to find any major workers, but the minor workers should be distinct enough to be Pheidole az06.

Date

July 2022

Description

Lone workers were observed amongst rocks after nightfall, before this trail of workers and majors was found traversing a wooden pole laying flat. They were indifferent to being photographed, but rarely stayed still.
The majors were over 20 mm.

Temperature was in the low 80s°F. No observable moisture was present.

Thanks,

Arthroverts
