In einer Population bei Rodeo in New Mexico, die seit den 1980er-Jahren jedes Jahr erfasst wird, wächst eine Kolonie von etwa 2.000 Arbeiterinnen im Alter von 2 Jahren, bis sie sich mit 5 Jahren bei rund 10.000 einpendelt. Ab einem Alter von 4 oder 5 Jahren schickt sie geflügelte Königinnen und Männchen zum jährlichen Hochzeitsflug.

Die Rate, mit der die Sammlerinnen das Nest verlassen, richtet sich danach, wie oft Nestgenossinnen mit Samen zurückkehren. Eine gute Ernte lockt deshalb mehr Ameisen nach draußen, und die Futtersuche endet, wenn der Tag zu heiß und trocken wird.

Töchter von Eltern aus derselben Linie werden zu Königinnen, Töchter von Eltern aus verschiedenen Linien dagegen zu Arbeiterinnen. Eine Königin braucht deshalb Männchen beider Linien, um sowohl Arbeiterinnen als auch neue Königinnen aufzuziehen, und sie paart sich mit vielen Männchen. In östlichen Populationen, etwa in Texas, hängt die Kaste wie bei den meisten Ameisen von der Umwelt ab.","Große Arbeiterinnen, rostrot bis tiefrot am ganzen Körper, mit einem Bart aus langen Haaren unter dem Kopf, feinen Rippen auf dem Kopf und einem Paar Dornen am hinteren Ende des Thorax.
