Harvester Ant Seed Mix (2x3'' packet)

Our Harvester Ant Seed Mix is a mix of multiple different seeds, chosen to provide a safe variety of different sizes and textures so that any harvester ant species can accept them. Ants such as Veromessor, Pogonomyrmex, some Pheidole, and even some Tetramorium will eat these! Currently, there are 8 different seeds in our mix. Not all ants eat seeds - read your colony's diet section!

Seeds in the mix: 
Kentucky Bluegrass: Kentucky Bluegrass are the standard, most commonly used seeds for Harvester Ants in the US. Medium-sized. 
Dandelion: Dandelion seeds seem to be a favorite for species such as Tetramorium, Pogonomyrmex, and Pheidole rhea. They are medium-sized seeds, slightly larger and darker than Kentucky Bluegrass.
Sand Lovegrass: Sand lovegrass is a tiny, reddish-brown seed from the eastern United States. All harvesters seem to love this seed, but it is especially useful for smaller species such as tiny Pheidole (Pheidole bicarinata) or young colonies of medium-sized Harvester Ants.
Thistle: Thistle is a somewhat large, black seed found all across North America. It is excitedly collected by most harvester ants, especially larger ones like Pogonomyrmex, Veromessor, as well as some Pheidole. It is high in protein and has lots of edible material inside its thin shell!
Little Bluestem, Indian Grass, and Tall Dropseed: These three native seeds are widespread throughout parts of North America, and therefore loved by many native harvesters. Tall Dropseed is a HUGE favorite! These are all medium-large seeds.
